Schematics on the Tripoli bombing

The Lebanese Al-Akhbar daily recently featured an in depth report on the bombing in Tripoli (Lebanon) earlier this week. Part of the report included schematics (in a 1, 2, 3, sequence) on how the attack is thought to have been executed (see below). It shows how the bus carrying army personnel was immediately hit after turning onto a side road on its way to the main highway.
