This just in from Beirut... A huge car bomb exploded in front of the famed St. George Hotel, when Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri's motorcade was passing by. A friend in Beirut tells me Hariri and 4 bodyguards were killed in the explosion.
Say what you will about Hariri, this is a disaster and will probably mark the beginning of another civil war in Lebanon.
I'm too stunned!!
CNN quote here.. "Hariri was believed to be unharmed in the blast, but several of his bodyguards were among those hurt or killed, Lebanese legislator Bassem Yammout told The Associated Press from the scene." ???

That is sooooo bad.. He was keeping the balance..
Two things may happen, the Lebanese would get closer to each other and reject what happened, or the exact opposite would happen.
Allah yur7ummah .. I really liked the guy ..:(
Not Fair
