Two explosions in a predominantly Shia residential area of southern Beirut have killed at least 37 people and injured at least 181, according to the Lebanese Red Cross.
The explosions took place in the Ain el Sikkeh area, next to the Burj el-Barajneh Palestinian refugee camp.
The area, located off a main highway leading to Beirut's airport, is a well-known commercial and residential area in the capital's southern suburbs.
Witnesses said that there were only minutes between the two blasts.

"They" just had to get in there didn't they?
Mother fuckers should be in jail for what they did in Iraq and the creation of ISIS.
"And all the stuff we're seeing today -- the rise of ISIS, the disintegration of the state in Iraq, the disintegration of the state in Syria, I think is directly connected to our invasion," said Clarke.
"We destroyed the state. This is what happens when you destroy a state. You have chaos, you have the rise of factions, regional and ethic factions," he continued. "And I think you can look at that decision and say that's the reason hundreds of thousands -- probably a couple of million if you add it all up -- people have been killed."
