The Lebanese capital was rocked by a huge explosion on Friday, sending black smoke billowing from the centre of Beirut.
The blast went off a few hundred metres from the Government headquarters and Parliament building. The cause was not immediately known.
Troops were seen deploying nearby and ambulances were rushing to the area.
Lebanon has seen a wave of bombings over the past months as tensions rise over Syria’s civil war.
