Anti-Syrian MP Killed In Car Bomb Attack
(Filed: 12/12/2005)
Gebran Tueni, a prominent politician and journalist, was among those killed in a car bomb attack in Lebanon, police have said.
Mr Teuni's armoured SUV car exploded as it was driving through the mainly Christian Mekalis area of east Beirut.
Three other people also died and 10 were wounded in the blast.
Mr Tueni, 48, was a well-known journalist and fierce critic of Syria. He was elected to parliament in this year's election.
The explosion set several cars alight and caused substantial damage to surrounding buildings. Police and soldiers cordoned off the area as rescue workers ferried casualties to hospitals.
The bombing took place one day after the head of the United Nations panel investigating the death of Rafiq Hariri, a former Lebanese prime minister, presented his findings.
Mr Hariri was killed by an explosion on Beirut seafront. Many Lebanese blamed Damascus for his death but Syria denied the charge.
