A car bomb explosion on Wednesday killed a ranking official of Druze leader Talal Arslan's Lebanese Democratic Party in the eastern resort of Baisour and wounded six people, police reported.
Saleh al-Aridi, in his late 40s, a member of the party's central council, was killed instantly when the bomb ripped through his Mercedes car in Baisour's square, a police official said.
The state-run National News Agency said the bomb was planted under the driver's seat and detonated by remote control. [Naharnet]
