Explosives found on Beirut street
Second find this week raises fears of increased violence in Lebanon.
Published On 22 Feb 2007
Police were called in and traffic was blocked as explosives experts examined the box.
The finds have intensified fears that a political stand-off between the government and opposition could spill over into wider violence.
Eight people were killed after violence erupted following protests and strikes led by the opposition, who have demanded a veto in government and fresh elections.
On February 13, two bombs exploded on buses on a busy commuter mountain road in a Christian area northeast of Beirut, killing three passengers and injuring 20 others.
A number of prominent Lebanese have been targeted in a series of bomb and gun attacks over the last two years.
The biggest was a suicide truck bombing that killed former premier Rafiq Hariri in February 2005.
