Syria may have withdrawn their troops and intelligence operatives from Lebanon, but that doesn’t mean they’ve given up: Anti-Syrian journalist killed in Beirut. (Hat tip: BabbaZee.)

A prominent anti-Syrian journalist has died after a bomb destroyed his car as he started the engine in a Christian district of Beirut.

The killing of columnist Samir Qaseer four days after the start of Lebanon’s staggered parliamentary elections has shocked a country still coming to terms with the February assassination of former prime minister Rafik al-Hariri.

Opposition figures were quick to point the finger at allies of Damascus and urged anti-Syrian leaders to close ranks.

Security sources said Mr Qaseer of the An-Nahar newspaper died instantly in the blast that destroyed his white Alfa Romeo car outside his home in the Ashrafiyeh district.
