Respected Lebanese leader Karami slain in Beirut blast
The assassination of Rashid Karami, Lebanon's nine time prime minister and Sunni champion, by a bomb behind his army helicopter seat sparks fears of renewed sectarian violence. A group calling itself the Lebanese Secret Army claimed responsibility and warned officials who betray the country. Karami, chosen by Syria for a unity government in 1984, was viewed as a reconciliatory figure amid a ruined, faction ridden Lebanon. The reaction in Syria and Lebanon is awaited as militias threaten further instability and reconciliation remains distant.
