| [REUTERS] A suicide kaboom on a cafe in the Lebanese city of Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of which is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... killed at least seven people on Saturday, the latest violence to hit a region repeatedly buffeted by violence linked to the civil war in neighboring Syria. The army said the attack in the predominantly Alawite neighborhood of Jabal Mohsen was carried out by one jacket wallah. Leb's National News Agency said it was a double suicide kaboom and gave the names of two attackers it said were from Tripoli. Leb's Health Ministry put the corpse count at seven but officials said nine people were killed, not including the bombers. Three dozen other people were maimed in the attack. The governor of northern Leb ordered a curfew until 7 a.m. in Jabal Mohsen and the army set up a security cordon around the cafe, the National News Agency reported.
