Tueni was one of three people killed when a car bomb exploded as his motorcade drove through the industrial suburb of Mkalles. Another 30 people were wounded in the bombing. Tueni's uncle, Telecommunications Minister Marwan Hamadeh, and the leading Lebanese politician Walid Jumblatt blamed Syria for the bombing _ a charge that Syria promptly denied.
