Flags were flown at half mast at the Grand Serail and all public buildings after Prime Minister Tammam Salam announced a national day of mourning.
Thursday blasts which went off in the busy Ain al-Sikkeh neighborhood injured more than 200 others.
Lebanese Red Cross official George Kettaneh said five of the wounded were in critical condition.
