Car bomb kills anti-Syrian MP Tueni in Beirut BEIRUT, Dec 12 (Reuters) A car bomb killed a Lebanese newspaper magnate and anti-Syrian lawmaker Gebran Tueni in Beirut on Monday. Several Lebanese politicians immediately blamed Syria, which has denied any role and said the killing was timed to smear it. Police said Tueni was among four people killed in the explosion that destroyed his armoured sports utility vehicle as it was driving in the Mekalis area of east Beirut. Some 32 people were wounded. A previously unknown group calling itself "Strugglers for the Unity and Freedom of the Levant" claimed responsibility for the killing in a statement faxed to Reuters, saying the same fate awaited other opponents of "Arabism" in Lebanon. There was no way to verify the authenticity of the claim, whose wording appeared, designed to cast suspicion on Damascus. The U.S. embassy in Beirut condemned the killing, saying in a statement that "with this heinous act, the forces of oppression and tyranny have taken from the Lebanese people one of their greatest champions for liberty and freedom." Syrian Information Minister Mahdi Dakhl-Allah dismissed accusations Damascus was involved and suggested that its arch-foe Israel might have played a role.(First Posted@12:50 PST Updated@ 19:15 PST)

Speaking to reporters in Islamabad, Ryan Crocker said "I think that Osama bin Laden is no longer the operational head of al Qaeda, because he is hiding deep inside the mountains and he doesn't have contact with the al Qaeda people". Referring to al-Zawahri, he added: "I don't know if Zawahri is heading al Qaeda or not; what I do know is that al Qaeda is in serious trouble these days." Asked about Musharraf's announcement that a senior al Qaeda figure, Abu Hamza Rabia, was killed in a tribal region this month, Crocker said: "I don't know what happened, but if President Musharraf is saying he is dead, we must trust what President Musharraf is saying." Crocker also said United States expressed concern that Pakistan had allowed a prominent militant group to take a role in providing relief to survivors of October 8 earthquake. "This is not good. Jamat-ud-Daawa is the new name of Lashkar-e-Taiba. I think that these groups should not be allowed to join the relief operations. The government of Pakistan should make use of other NGOs. The government of Pakistan is aware of our concerns in this context."(Posted @ 19:04 PST)
