Al-Qaeda Group Claims Responsibility for Deadly Bombing in Beirut 
------------------------------------------------------------------


 
A Syrian rebel group has claimed responsibility for a car bombing in
Lebanon that killed four people and wounded 20 others. The attack hit a
stronghold of the Shiite group Hezbollah south of Beirut. The
al-Qaeda-linked al-Nusra Front says it was taking revenge for a
Hezbollah missile strike last week. It was the latest violent incident
to bolster fears the Syrian civil war is spilling across the border into
Lebanon.
