Lebanon: Christian Politician Assassinated by Syria....
Basher Assad continues his ruthless assassination campaign against anti-Syrian politicians in Lebanon. His latest victim is Antoine Ghanem of the Christian Phalange Party....
BEIRUT, Lebanon (CNN) -- A member of the Lebanese parliament died in a Beirut bomb blast Wednesday -- the latest anti-Syrian politician to be killed in the country.
Lawmaker Walid Eido, his son, Khalid, and two of his bodyguards were killed, Lebanese media reports said.
Some are calling the attack an assassination and pointing the finger at Syria.
At least six other people died and 11 were wounded in the explosion, believed to be from a car bomb, in the seaside neighborhood of Manara, according to Lebanese security sources.
Druze leader Walid Jumblatt, an outspoken critic of Syria, blamed Eido's killing on Damascus, calling it an attempt to reduce the anti-Syrian majority in the Lebanese government.
"With this bunch of assassins in Damascus, they don't care about international justice," Jumblatt told CNN International
