In Lebanon, tens of thousands of people rallied in Beirut today to mark the second anniversary of the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik al-Hariri. The rally comes one day after a pair of bus bombings in a largely Christian area outside of Beirut. Three people died, and at least 20 were wounded. On Tuesday, Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora condemned the attack.

Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora: “They killed Rafik al-Hariri and his companions, and continued their string of criminal and sabotage acts, the last of which was the assassination of MP and Minister Pierre Gemayel and not least the crime today in the Metn area which killed and injured innocent Lebanese civilians.”
