BEIRUT, June 13 (RIA Novosti) - Anti-Syrian lawmaker Walid Eido, his elder son, two bodyguards and two passersby were killed in a powerful explosion that rocked northwest Beirut Wednesday.

The total number of fatalities is not yet clear. The explosion which went off by the seafront, near a swimming pool and a military club, also injured about 10 people.
