LEBANON-CIVIL WAR-CHRISTIANS-EXPLOSION
A man evacuates 25 March 1986 an injured woman following a car bomb explosion in the Ashrafieh district of mainly Christian East Beirut. The car packed with 150 kgs (330 pounds) of explosives blew up in a crowded street near a church, killing 8 people, injuring 20. The Lebanese civil war broke out in April 1975 when Palestinians made an attack on Maronit Christian Phalangists. Christian militia, backed by Christian Kataeb (Phalangist) party, massacred the passengers of a bus, who were mainly Palestinians. Intercommunal fighting between Christians and Muslims quickly spread. AFP PHOTO JOSEPH BARRAK (Photo by JOSEPH BARRAK / AFP) (Photo by JOSEPH BARRAK/AFP via Getty Images)
