'Twin suicide attack' in Beirut kills two

At least two people have been killed in a twin bomb attack in the south of the Lebanese capital Beirut, officials say.

Security sources said it appeared that two suicide bombers using a car and a motorcycle had blown themselves up near an Iranian cultural centre.

The blasts caused heavy damage to shops and buildings and set fire to vehicles.

It is the latest in a series of attacks in Beirut's southern suburbs, where the militant Shia Islamist movement Hezbollah has a strong presence.
