Hello, im matthew amroliwala. Welcome to Bbc News. Lets continue with rolling coverage of the rapidly evolving Security Situation in lebanon, where over the last few hours, fresh ways of exploding electronic devices have caused new casualties. The Health Ministry, quoted by afp, says nine people have been killed in more than 300 injured. Let me show you some images found by reuters in beirut.
