It couldn't happen to a nicer bunch of guys - what goes around comes around

A suicide bomber drove an explosives-laden vehicle into two vans carrying Hezbullah terrorists in the Bekaa Valley on Tuesday morning. Chaos ensued.

Let's go to the videotape from Hezbullah's al-Manar television.



Beirut's Daily Star Newspaper has more:

An explosives-laden vehicle exploded in east Lebanon early Tuesday killing its driver and wounding two members from Hezbollah, security sources told The Daily Star.

The sources said Hezbollah fighters in a van were attempting to intercept the vehicle when it exploded in Sbouba, where the group maintains a military camp. There was an exchange of gunfire, they said.

The explosives-laden vehicle was likely detonated remotely as their pursuers approached, the sources said. They earlier said the vehicle may have been occupied by a suicide bomber.

TV footage showed at least four vehicles, some in flames, and debris strewn across the road.

In a brief statement, the Lebanese Army said that a Grand Cherokee blew up on the road to Sbouba, northwest of Baalbek, at 2:50 a.m., damaging a number of vehicles. The military has launched a probe.

Boo. Hoo. Hope they all die soon.
