At least 37 people have been killed and dozens wounded in two suicide bomb attacks in a southern suburb of Beirut.  The attacks happened minutes apart at a Shia community centre and nearby bakery in the Borj al Barajneh area during the evening rush hour.

The Lebanese Red Cross has put the death toll at 37 and says a further 181 people people were injured.  A Lebanese security official said the first attacker detonated his explosives' vest outside the community centre and the second blew himself up inside the bakery.

An apparent third suicide bomber was found dead, his legs blown off,  wearing an intact explosives' belt, said the official.  It is thought he may have been killed by the explosion at the bakery as his body was reportedly discovered nearby.
