near the scene of the blast that targeted the headquarters of BLOM Bank in Verdun on Sunday evening, a media report said.

"The two suspects were close to the bombing scene and they are still being interrogated," al-Liwaa newspaper reported on Tuesday, citing security information it has obtained.

Security agencies are also probing the presence of "a car that stopped in the outer street that stretches from Tallet al-Khayyat to the end of the Aisha Bakkar area," the daily added.

It also said that the bomb was connected to a timer and that it weighed eight kilograms of highly explosive TNT.

"Sources close to the investigation have voiced confidence about the possibility of identifying the party that plotted the kaboom and arresting the culprits who acted on the ground," al-Liwaa added.

The kaboom outside the Verdun headquarters of BLOM Bank, one of the country's largest, maimed two people and caused extensive material damage to the building's glass facade and the parked cars.
