Relatives grieve over the coffin of killed legislator Walid Eido in Beirut June 14, 2007. Lebanon will bury Eido, a high-profile anti-Syrian legislator, on Thursday after he was killed killed in a bomb attack which exacerbated the country's deep political crisis. Eido, his eldest son, two bodyguards and six passers-by were killed in Wednesday's attack in Beirut. Eido's allies blamed the bombing on Syria and said it was in response to the establishment of a U.N. court to try suspects in political killings. Syria has not commented on the attack.
