A roadside bomb exploded near the port city of Sidon in southern Lebanon on Tuesday wounding five French members of the United Nations peacekeeping force, UNIFIL. The injured were riding in a UN convoy when the bomb was detonated. The attack is the most recent in a spate of violence aimed at the peacekeepers. The UNIFIL force was first deployed in Lebanon in 1978 and re-established at the end of the 2006 war between Israel and Hizbullah. Anger aimed at the U.N. in Hizbullah strongholds is increasing because of the tribunal investigating the 2005 assassination of former Lebanese prime minister Rafiq Al-Hariri.
