Anti-Syrian Lawmaker Killed in Lebanon

HeadlineJun 14, 2007

In Lebanon, an anti-Syrian lawmaker was among 10 people killed in a car bombing Wednesday in Beirut. It was the sixth attack to hit the Lebanese capital in the last month. Walid Eido was an ally of the late Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik al-Hariri, who was killed in a car bombing two years ago. Al-Hariri’s son, Saad al-Hariri, blamed Syria for the latest attack.

Saad al-Hariri: “The martyrs Walid Eido and his son, the flower of martyrs, the lawyer Khaled, and others have joined the trail of martyrs for freedom in the battle to turn Lebanon into a submissive country and hijack its decision. It’s the same hands which assassinated Rafik al-Hariri and other martyrs. It’s the hands of evil and its apparatus.”
