In pictures: Lebanon blast

The car believed to have been carrying the bomb lies a mangled wreck near the southern entrance of the Lebanese city of Tripoli.

The bomb went off as a military bus passed by in the morning rush hour traffic.

At least five people have been killed and some 30 wounded - both soldiers and civilians were hit.

The blast damaged nearby cars and blew out windows.

Lebanese security officials have cordoned off the scene and a forensic investigation is under way.

This is the second deadly bus bombing targeting the military in Tripoli in as many months.

It threatens a fragile peace deal recently agreed between pro-government Sunni fighters and pro-Syrian gunmen.
