Assaults on Lebanese Pilgrim left 1 Dead, 25 Injured

A terrorist attack on a pilgrim bus near the Syria-Lebanon border has left at least one passenger dead and 25 others injured, according to Press TV reports.

The bus transferring pilgrims to Iraq was fired upon at the Al-Jusiyeh border crossing between Syria and Lebanon by armed men on Saturday. 

Initial reports said the bus came under fire from the Syrian side of the border, after it crossed over from Lebanon. 

The wounded have reportedly been taken to hospitals in the Bekaa valley.
