The bomb exploded in an industrial area in Zouk Mousbeh, 12 miles north of Beirut and near the town of Jounieh in the country’s Christian heartland, security officials said. It set off fires in several buildings.
Civil defense workers pulled a man’s body from a gutted building. Three other men were wounded in the blast, officials said.
Lebanese Broadcasting Corp. television said the area targeted consisted of about 300 shops that sell paint and other flammable materials to industrial customers. Stored gas and oxygen containers swiftly caught fire in the blast .
