BEIRUT, Lebanon (CNN) -- An explosion ripped through a U.S. Embassy vehicle Tuesday as it traveled along a coastal highway north of Beirut, killing four Lebanese civilian bystanders, a U.S. State Department spokesman told CNN.

State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said the driver of the vehicle was slightly injured and the only passenger -- a foreign service national -- was not hurt.
McCormack could not confirm that the vehicle was the target of the blast, or if it tripped a roadside bomb intended for a different target. |

More reckless violence from, I'm assuming, pro-Syrian forces. Though, having occurred in Lebanon, Iran and Hezbollah are still suspect.
