An explosion targeted a U.S. Embassy vehicle Tuesday in northern Beirut, and there were casualties, a senior Lebanese security official said.
\nThe explosion was heard across the Lebanese capital, and gray smoke billowed near the Mediterranean coast.
\nThe security official, speaking on condition of anonymity in line with military rules, told The Associated Press the explosion was in the predominantly Christian Dora-Karantina neighborhood.
\nHe said an American vehicle was believed to be the target. There were casualties, he said, but did not elaborate.
\nA Lebanese Broadcasting Corporation correspondent who happened to be in the area reported seeing the charred body of at least one person killed in the blast. The station also reported a person wounded in a car belonging to the American Embassy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
