   A  bomb  meant  for a Hezbollah supporter in southern Lebanon exploded
   Wednesday wounding the man's daughter and son.
   Police say the bomb went off at the front entrance of Hezbollah member
   Mohammad Zreik's home in the town of Kfar Fila.
   The  blast wounded Zreik's 11-year-old daughter and five-year-old son.
   Police say a third person was also injured.
   Officials  say  Zreik's  children  were leaving to go to school at the
   time of the blast.
   Security   forces   cordoned   off  the  area  and  have  launched  an
   investigation into the incident.
   Kfar  Fila  is  located  in  an  area  considered a stronghold for the
   Shi'ite militant group.
