The booby-trapped Kia car that exploded Tuesday in Haret Hreik came from the Sabra area in Beirut, which lies on the outskirts of the southern suburbs and hosts a Palestinian refugee camp, a report said on Wednesday.
The Kia took off from outside the al-Rabih residential complex in Sabra and headed towards the Chatila roundabout, LBCI television said.
It then took the airport road and passed opposite the headquarters of Ghobairi Municipality and the Sahel Hospital, the TV network added.
The driver of the explosives-rigged car normally stopped at the army checkpoint in Ghobairi before continuing his journey, according to LBCI.
He then headed to Haret Hreik and made his way slowly due to traffic jam in the area.
While in Haret Hreik, the driver passed by the al-Hasanayn Mosque and the municipality building before crossing the segment of al-Arid Street which was targeted by a previous suicide bombing on January 2.
The car then blew up in the middle of the road outside the Sibai Center while the engine was still operating, LBCI added.
Citing reports, the TV network said “the group of the Palestinian Ahmed Taha has links to the suicide bombing."
Three people were killed and around 35 others were injured in the suicide bombing on Tuesday morning, the second such attack to target the same street in one month.
Later on Tuesday, the Internal Security Forces announced arresting the man who stole the Kia, saying he was also behind stealing a car that exploded in Bekaa's Hermel.
The robber was identified as Nabil Ahmed al-Moussawi.

If the car got set inside the Palestinian camp, go inside all the Palestinian camps disarm EVERYONE, arrest whomever was involved, and enforce LAW in these camps.
For the life of me I can't understand why we have continued allowing Palestinians to run lawless in their camps.

Hezbollah's raison d'etre is to liberate palestine.
The palestinian's raison d'etre is to bomb HA.
Despicable.
Shouldn't HA stop espousing foreign causes and stick to a lebanese agenda, like the FPM or the Kataeb?

12 Palestinian camps should be closed and all refugees should be sent to the gulf countries where they have the money to care for their need
btw not even 1 single refugee camp in all the gulf countries ? strange

Hanoun, you cannot be more spot on, our single biggest problem remains the Palestinians, they should now all be sent to those Arab countries who have nigger lands and a lot more resources to help them and fight their cause. In Lebanon we've already paid a price that is well beyond our means, once Palestinians are out, then things will ease a lot in Lebanon one of which Hezbollah will begin to feel more at ease. Believe it or not, one of Hezbollah's prime worries is the Palestinian camps in Lebanon, though I am at odds a lot of the time with HA's agenda, but where it comes to the Palestinian threat, I share with them the same concerns.
