A prominent anti-Syrian journalist and MP and three other people were killed in a car bombing in a Beirut suburb on Monday, the latest in a string of similar attacks in Lebanon. One witness said the bomb blew up inside Christian MP Gibran Tueni’s vehicle, blasting it off the road and setting it ablaze. A fellow MP immediately pointed the finger at Syria over the bombing.
