Three explosions kill 2 in house in eastern Lebanon

The cause of the explosions near the city of Baalbek was not immediately clear, but the official said the nature of the blasts suggests there were explosives or weapons stored inside the building.

He said the force of the blasts destroyed the house, which appeared to be under construction. He spoke on condition of anonymity in line with government regulations.

Baalbek is located in the Bekaa Valley in eastern Lebanon. It's a stronghold of the militant Shiite Hezbollah group, but there are large numbers of criminals known to operate in the area, which is a center of arms and drug smuggling.
