Two Lebanese young men were killed Saturday when a car bomb went off in the village of Haouik in Syria, Lebanon's official NNA reported.

Mohammed Khodr Zeaiter and Muammar al-Ahmed, who live close to the town Haouik whose residents are mostly Lebanese, heard someone calling for oil re-fuelling, and as they came outside to inquire about the matter, a wireless car bomb went off, leading to their death.

Haouik is adjacent to the Lebanese town of al Qasr.
