NNA - The United Nations Special Coordinator for Lebanon, Derek Plumbly, strongly condemned on Tuesday the bombing that took place in the Southern Suburb of Beirut before noon, expressing condolences for the victims' families.



"Today's explosion is the third in Lebanon in the past three weeks," Plumbly said in a statement, considering it an additional escalation of the disturbing terrorist acts.



"Such acts cannot be justified because they contradict with the interests of all the Lebanese," he added, calling upon the Lebanese to bolster unity among them.
