Injured Lebanese leave the scene of an explosion in the mostly Christian neighborhood of Achrafiyeh, Beirut, Lebanon, Friday Oct. 19, 2012. Lebanese Red Cross and security officials say a car bomb in east Beirut has killed at least eight people and wounded dozens in the worst blast the city has seen in years, coming at a time when Lebanon has seen a rise in tension and eruptions of clashes stemming from the civil war in neighboring Syria.

BEIRUT—A senior Lebanese police official says the head of the country's police intelligence unit was the target of a massive Beirut car bomb, but it's not clear if he was killed.

The police official asked that his name not be used because he is not authorized to brief the media. But he said the bomb targeted Brig. Gen. Wissam al-Hassan's convoy.

The official said it's not confirmed that al-Hassan was in the convoy at the time. But authorities have not been able to reach him since the blast went off Friday afternoon.
