Broken glass and masonry blasted from adjacent apartment buildings and office blocks littered the street as firemen doused the flames of burning vehicles. A cordon of green-bereted Lebanese troops sealed off the area from an angry and anxious crowd. "There's blood everywhere, blood, blood," cried a distraught Ziad Ghosn, eyeing a crimson trail in the bomb-blasted ruins of his brother's apartment...
