Alawite party official gunned down in Lebanon
A senior official in a Lebanese Alawite party supportive of Syrian President Bashar Al Assad was shot dead in the northern Lebanese city of Tripoli Thursday, a security official told AFP.
Masked gunmen opened fire at 7:00 am (0500 GMT) on Abdelrahman Diab, a senior official in the Arab Democratic Party, as he drove through Tripoli, which sees frequent deadly clashes between supporters and opponents of the Syrian regime.
A party official said Diab was in charge of military affairs.
