MASNAA, Lebanon — A Syrian military truck carrying diesel fuel overturned and caught fire Sunday at a Lebanon-Syria border crossing, killing at least 17 people and injuring several others. The military truck was coming from Syria when it apparently lost its brakes and struck a Lebanese customs and immigration office, Lebanese security officials said on condition of anonymity. The truck overturned on several cars at the Masnaa mountain crossing point, on the Lebanese side. It then caught fire, setting the office and several cars ablaze, the officials said.
