The next time Dennis Kucinich hangs out with his friend Bashar Assad, he might want to ask if Assad knows anything about this: Blast kills anti-Syrian politician.

A powerful bomb has killed a pro-government parliament member and four others in a Christian suburb east of the Lebanese capital Beirut, security officials said.

The blast targeted Antoine Ghanem, 64, a member of the right-wing Christian Phalange Party, said the officials.

The Voice of Lebanon radio station, which is owned by the Phalange party, also confirmed Ghanem’s death. The identities of the others killed were not immediately known.

The attack occurred six days before parliament was scheduled to meet to elect a new president in a deeply-divisive vote. Ghanem is the eighth prominent anti-Syrian figure assassinated since 2005, including three politicians from the majority, reducing the ruling party’s margin in parliament.
