Al Jazeera interviews head of the Progressive Socialist Party, Walid Jumblatt, on the deadly car bomb in Achrafiyeh which killed security official Wissam al Hassan. Beirut, Lebanon (CNN) -- The bomb that ripped through a calm and urbane neighborhood in the heart of Beirut on Friday killed a top Lebanese intelligence official, unearthing fears of a spillover from Syria's civil war. Brig. Gen. Wissam al-Hassan, the chief of the Internal Security Forces Information Branch, was targeted and killed, Lebanese news media reported. The attack killed at least eight other people and injured more than 90. It is not clear whether al-Hassan is counted in that death toll. Al-Hassan is an iconic anti-Syrian government Sunni. His killing brings a sense of deja vu to Lebanese recalling the assassination of a former prime minister seven years ago and the turmoil that followed. He is aligned with a political movement opposing Syria's government and is head of the branch investigating Lebanese politician Michel Samaha, who is accused of planning attacks in Lebanon with two Syrian officials. Blast in 'Christian area' of Beirut Fatal car bomb rocks Beirut Andrew Tabler, a expert on Syria and Lebanon at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, said the bombing is "a message from Damascus to stay away from Michel Samaha and Syrian allies." Samaha is a controversial figure with close ties to Damascus. Al-Hassan's unit recorded him planning attacks. A military court accused Samaha of <b>...</b>

Republican White House candidate Mitt Romney has derided his opponent's re-election effort, saying that President Barack Obama has "no agenda" to take the US forward. Speaking at an evening rally in Florida alongside his vice-presidential running mate Paul Ryan, Mr Romney said the Obama campaign had become "the incredible shrinking campaign". "We have big ideas, bold ideas," he said, telling the Daytona Beach crowd they only had 18 more days left of the president's agenda. Earlier, Mr Obama denounced Mr Romney as suffering from "Romnesia", criticising him for changing his position on several policies in the months since his Republican primary victory. Polls across the US show a close race, with Mr Obama slightly ahead in a series of swing states but Mr Romney leading nationally among likely voters. The two men meet in their third and final presidential debate - on foreign policy - on Monday.

Streets in central Athens were closed and rallies prohibited in the town centre and near streets Merkel had to pass to reach Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras's office. It was the first time since the end of the military junta in 1974 that a ban on street rallies was imposed in Greece.
