Sat, Mar 26, 2005 at 2:30:14 pm PST

There’s been another huge bomb attack against a Christian neighborhood in Beirut: Lebanon Blast Injures 3 Foreign Workers.

BEIRUT, Lebanon - A bomb set off a raging inferno in an industrial area of a mainly Christian neighborhood of Beirut on Saturday, injuring at least three foreign workers.

Antoine Gebara, mayor of the northeastern Beirut area of Bouchrieh, said the explosion was caused by a bomb placed near the buildings in an industrial area.

“It appears it is an explosive charge that was placed there,” Gebara told Lebanese Broadcasting Corp.

“They must love us — we got it twice in a week,” he said referring to an explosion in the nearby predominantly Christian neighborhood of Jdeideh last Saturday that injured nine people. A bomb on Wednesday killed three people in a Christian commercial center.

Witnesses said the blast on the eve of the Easter holiday occurred three hours before Catholics were to head to a midnight Mass.
