BEIRUT, Aug. 31 (Xinhua) -- A roadside bomb explosion killed two people and injured seven others on Wednesday in Lebanon, local media reported.
The blast occurred near a bus on a highway linking Beirut, the capital, and the eastern Bekaa city of Zahle, LBCI TV reported.
The bus, carrying members of the "Amal" movement, was on its way to south Lebanon to attend an event marking the anniversary of the disappearance of the movement's Shiite spiritual leader Moussa Sadr.
Sadr and his two companions, Sheikh Mohammed Yacoub and journalist Abbas Badreddine, went missing on Aug. 31, 1978, while on an official visit to Libya.
