    "We are worried that there are more terrorists, so the Lebanese army is searching the area," said Bashir Matar, mayor of Al-Qaa, which lies in a hilly border area shaken by violence since the civil war erupted in Syria in 2011.

    Eight suicide bombs rocked the Christian Lebanese border town on Monday, killing five people and injuring more.

    The wave of attacks came as the latest in recent violent spillovers from the five-year old Syrian civil war raging on the other side of the border.
