Lebanon: Christian village hit by multiple suicide attack

At least five people have been killed and 15 others wounded in a multiple suicide bomb attack in north-eastern Lebanon.  

Four bombers blew themselves up outside a house in the predominantly Christian village of Qaa, close to the border with war-torn Syria.  

It is not immediately clear who or what the attackers planned to target. 

Al-Manar TV, which is owned by the militant Shia group Hezbollah, has blamed the Sunni jihadist group Islamic State for the attack.  

IS has carried out previous suicide bombings that have killed scores of people in Lebanon, but has not yet said whether it was behind today's blasts.
