| Explosion kills man and his nephew in south Lebanon |
| 2002-12-07 |
| A bomb killed a former Lebanese intelligence agent and his nephew as they drove along a southern Lebanese highway on Friday. Ramzi Nohra, 45, who had worked for Lebanese army intelligence and the Iranian-backed Hizbollah guerrilla group, and his nephew, Elie Issa, 30, were killed instantly in a blast that ripped through their Mercedes on a main road near the southeastern town of Hasbaya. Hasbaya legislator Qassem Hashem and the security officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, blamed the Israeli intelligence service, Mossad, for the killings. Practicing for al-Qaeda? Or have the moves already started? Israeli officials had no immediate comment on the explosion. Unless you can call a smile a comment... |
