Two people were killed when a bomb they were reportedly trying to plant under the parked vehicle of a Lebanese judge in a parking lot in Antelias mistakenly went off, the Lebanese Red Cross said Thursday.

The men were identified as Hassan Nayef Nassar and Ihsan Ali Diya, who died after he was taken to hospital.

Several people were also injured, the reports said. A witness told Agence France Presse he saw rescuers carrying a man whose arm and leg had been torn off in the explosion.

The vehicle that the two assailants were reportedly trying to booby trap is a Nissan Murano registered to State Shura Council Judge Albert Serhan - license plate number 29592- and is driven by his son and engineer Alain.

"My son is an engineer and he parks his car in that lot, along with his colleagues, near their office," the judge told AFP by telephone.

"I have never been threatened nor does anyone in my family dabble in politics," he added.

Alain Sarhan told OTV that he saw two corpses on the ground near his car after he heard the blast.

A credit card that belongs to Nassar was found at the scene of the explosion.

The National News Agency said the two assailants arrived at the area in a BMW X5 holding plate number 278458 and is registered in Diya’s name.

Army and security forces immediately rushed to the site, cordoned off the area and brought in sniffer dogs.

Interior Minister Marwan Charbel said the two victims had been seated in a car in the parking lot, adding that one of them was the owner of the vehicle.

The blast sowed panic and raised fears of a repeat of the wave of deadly car bombs between 2004 and 2008 that targeted anti-Syrian journalists and politicians.

But Charbel downplayed the likelihood of an act of terror and said the bomb had been the work of amateurs.

"Our investigation so far does not point to an act of sabotage," he told reporters.

Martin you are completely ignorant... read the names of the guys that were planting the bombs: Ihsan and Hussein Ali are SHIA names... SHIA... and Shias who have access to bombs are only one party Hezbo... so get educated before you comment... Hariri is a thief but Hezbo is a crazed murderer... and finally this provides the ultimate proof that they have been behind everything from the start... and dont tell me they were passers by, there are no Shia neighborhoods near the St Elie Church in Antelias, let alone Shias playing with bombs.

It's strange, Lebanese would believe anything provided that it helps them

@Youssef/others... the problem everyone sort of knew, but let's hope this time the evidence is brought to court, and the master mind behind the perpetrators is brought to justice...
A strong government, which have the exclusive right of holding arms, and looking after security, is the only answer.
Now that the government is pro-Hizballah, they have even less justification to hold their arms. Let the democratic game take place.
Enough with arms outside the government control. If they win the election, they rule using the constitution, if they loose, they rule using the arms.... enough is enough

NK, you are the one who should educate yourself. Neither Ihsan nor Hussein are Shia names. Hussein is often used by the shiites but it doesnt mean its a shia name. Many Muslims are named Hussein. And as for Ihsan, it means goodness, its an arabic name common both among the Muslims, Arab christrians Christians, Druze, Shiites and alawites.

i dont care what their names mean. their name's significance, and now news websites are reporting Diya borther showed up to hospital to claim his body since he is a member of Hizbo... this all means one thing, the Resistance in Lebanon (note they do not call themselves Lebanese Resistance) Hezbo has show its tru teeth... they seek mayhem and death to justify their 40,000+ rockets.. well this time, it blew up in their face LITERALLY

It seems for the second time after the Dahieh Blast that killed the Hezbullah Terrorists that were rigging the car (and no investigation had come up to any conlcusion as many before it) (surprise, surprise), the Iranian criminal group Hezb Ebola was caught "red handed" despite the very many times that the Criminal zombie militia and its Palestinian "Sub Contractors" (under direct orders from the supreme Criminal in Tehran and the Criminal Assad Regime in Damascus) was engaged in such bombings in the past thirty years (The US Marine Barracks 1982, US Embassy, The French Embassy, .....Sin El Fil (numerous times), Milki, Ain Alak,...). It is now quite obvious for anyone with half a brain cell that the criminal Iranian-Syrian tool Hezbollah was at the heart of all these terrorist attacks that have claimes many thousands of innocent lives since the early eighties in Lebanon and elsewhere. Now all the dots are getting connected ... (continued)

A bomb explodes in a parking lot killing two individuals and injuring others. Before jumping to conclusions about who is behind the killing, ALL Lebanese should express their condemnation of this event... including all party leaders - without any exception - as Lebanon is not for one but for all.

As for the affiliation of the victims (call them whatever you want), Lebanese sell their souls for a rhetoric or religious affiliation... hence anyone who wants to harm Lebanon can pay the price and buy anyone.

It's time to stop fighting each others - 'cause Lebanon loses each time - and let's all condemn anyone who carries a weapon or aims to harm Lebanon!

its going to be hard for the hizb to put a spin on this, but here's what I think they will come out with.

Two hizbula operatives came across a suspicious vichicle with an equally suspicious man messing around with it. They decided to investigate. Good that they did because they stumbled on a man, probably an Isreali agent (the star of David bandana gave him away), just about to bobby trap a car. Our hizby boys on order of nasrala aka Big NAS, decided to foil the assasination attempt, but unfortunatly and with great sadness and regret, the bomb got our heroes.

so we lebanese should be thankfull for the ever vigilant hizbula boys always on the look out for that illusive no good isreali agent.
