The Titanic was the most luxu

thought to be unsinkable, but an ice

its maiden voyage April 14, 1912.

be “silly.” He said it would desecrate

BEIRUT, Lebanon — A car bomb

In south Beirut, Shiite Moslem

The Zahle car bomb was the sixth

Police said the bomb, estimated at

Renault sedan. The blast tore a 3-
foot-deep hole in the street.
