Powerful car bombs at two Salafist mosques in Tripoli this morning have killed at least 42 people and wounded more than 400. The attacks came about five minutes apart. Caretaker Defense Minister Ghosn said today's attacks were carried out by the same persons who executed a recent car bombing in a Beirut suburb that killed 30 people and wounded over 300 more; that attack took place in a Hezbollah stronghold.
