A Lebanese former Communist Party leader was killed, Tuesday, June 21,
2005, when a bomb ripped through his car in Beirut, two days after
parliamentary elections.
Witnesses and security sources said George Hawi, a veteran politician,
died instantly in the blast in the Wata Musaitbi neighborhood of
Beirut. The bomb was apparently placed under the passenger seat of
Hawi's Mercedes car and was detonated by remote control, security
sources said. The driver apparently escaped serious injuries. |
