Mourners Throng Lebanon Funeral
Hezbollah: The assassination was a blow to any attempt at reconciliation.
Thousands of mourners have turned out for the funeral of Antoine Ghanem, a Lebanese MP killed in a car bomb attack in Beirut two days ago.
Pallbearers on Friday carried the coffins of Ghanem and two bodyguards to the Furn el-Sheback district of Beirut where the MP had his constituency.
"Ya habibi , Ya habibi," cried out Ghanem's widow Lola as his coffin, draped with a Lebanese flag, left the Lebanese Canadian hospital where he was taken after Wednesday's bomb blast that killed five people and wounded about 70.
The cortege slowly made its way to the nearby Sacre Coeur church, where several leading members of Lebanon's parliamentary majority were to attend the funeral service, in what was as much a political as a family event.
Flags flew at half mast and schools and businesses were shut as the government declared a day of official mourning for the funeral.
Hezbollah said the assassination was "a blow to the country's security and stability as well as any attempt at reconciliation".
