As per BBC reports, all four suspects are members of the Iranian-backed Hezbollah group. The Iranian group has consistently denied any role in Hariri's death.

Reportedly, the blast happened at the Hariri residence in the capital city.

However, the blast has reported dozens of injuries. Lebanon is facing political crisis with people taking to the streets and holding demonstrations against the government's handling of the worst economic crisis in the country since the 1975-90 civil war.
