/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Lebanese MP Antoine Ghanem was killed along with
four other people in a massive car bombing on Wednesday in a busy
mainly Christian neighborhood of Beirut, the latest in a spate of
attacks against prominent anti-Syrian figures.
The bomb consisted of more than 20 kilograms (44 pounds) of TNT packed
in a Mercedes car parked nearby with fake license plates. It was
detonated via remote control.
Ghanem was the eighth member of the anti-Syrian majority to be
assassinated since the February 2005 murder of five-time Prime
Minister and billionaire tycoon Hariri.
Shahan Kandakharyan, the editor-in-chief of Azdak newspaper told a
PanARMENIAN.Net reporter that resident of Beirut Armen Ghalfayan was
slightly injured in the blast.
