The Lebanese victim was identified as Mohammad al-Tala, who, along with other member of the bus, was on his way to Iraq on a Shiite pilgrimage, according to Lebanese security sources.

The other victims were members of Syrian General Security who were inspecting the vehicle that had earlier passed through the border crossing of Jouesiyeh near the Lebanese border village of al-Qaa in eastern Lebanon.

The wounded were transported to three hospitals in Lebanon.

    Oh yes .. of course … one really needs to make pilgrimages into war zones. It’s a natural occurrence of the soul that needs to be followed sometime …. might as well pick a war-time. Should we be surprised?

    This sounds suspicious to me. Pilgrim is going to the war zone for what to preach “Peace”? I heard Hezbollah and Iranian mullah Guard are regularly going in Syria to help Assad. That makes sense but pilgrim is going to Iraq also make sense. But what if the Bus flipped in to the direction of Iraq after the IED blast  which was initially going to Syrian direction.No one is making any investigation on that.  

    The other victims were members of Syrian General Security who were inspecting the vehicle that had earlier passed through the border crossing of Jouesiyeh near the Lebanese border village of al-Qaa in eastern Lebanon! well I need to check the map now .
