2 Workers Killed in Blast in Antelias Quarry
Two foreign laborers died and several others were injured on Monday in an explosion at a quarry north of Beirut, media reports said.
The blast went off while the workers of the stone-crushing plant in Antelias were welding a diesel tank, they said.
The flames caused a second explosion at a nearby dynamite depot, the reports added.
The dead men are a Syrian and a Bangladeshi.
It was not clear if there were any Lebanese among the wounded workers.
