Four suicide bombers blew themselves up among a group of people on their way to work in the village of Qaa in Bekaa valley, security sources told Al Jazeera.
The villagers became suspicious of the men as they were passing through the village around 4 am local time, an eyewitness in Qaa said. When civilian security men who guard the village called out to them, they threw a hand grenade before successively blowing themselves up among civilians.
