A massive suicide car bomb targeting an army post in the eastern Lebanese town of Hermel near war-torn Syria killed two people and wounded others Saturday, a security source said.The source, who spoke to AFP on condition of anonymity, could not confirm the exact number of wounded, but he said at least one of the dead was a soldier.Hermel, in the Bekaa Valley where Hezbollah has a strong presence, has seen multiple attacks in recent months related to the war raging in neighbouring Syria.The suicide car blast ripped through the checkpoint which lies at the entrance of Hermel, and at which cars are routinely stopped and searched by army troops.Areas under Hezbollah domination in eastern Lebanon and southern Beirut have suffered a string of violent attacks in recent months, since the Shiite group acknowledged it has sent fighters to support President Bashar al-Assad's troops in Syria's war.
