BEIRUT, Lebanon AP) (AP) -- A roadside bomb planted in Lebanon's coastal south exploded Monday near a U.N. post as a peacekeeping vehicle drove past, the second attack targeting the force in less than a month. No one was hurt.

The bomb struck the U.N. jeep as it drove through a village near the southern port city of Tyre, according to a statement from the United Nations Interim Force In Lebanon, known as UNIFIL.

Lebanese Broadcasting Corporation television showed Lebanese troops directing traffic and searching the blast scene for evidence.
