A prominent Lebanese security official is among the dead in a car bombing in the capital Beirut. Wissam al-Hassan, intelligence chief of the Internal Security Forces (ISF), was the brain behind uncovering a recent bomb plot that led to the arrest of Michel Samaha, a Lebanese politician close to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, who has been accused of trying to help smuggle explosives into Lebanon. The ISF was also deeply involved in seeking the arrest of those responsible for a host of attacks and assassinations between 2005 and 2008, starting with the murder of Rafik al-Hariri. Following the attack, clashes occured in the northen city of Tripoli between the rival districts of Jabal Mohsen and Bab al-Tabbaneh, leaving one person killed. Jabal Mohsen is resided by mostly Alawites supportive of Assad, while Bab al-Tabbaneh is a Sunni area. Al Jazeera's Caroline Malone wraps up the developments.

Bodies were still coming in to the city morgue Sunday afternoon after explosions rocked the Mpila military barracks in the east of the capital, sending more than 2000 people fleeing from their homes. A local hospital reported at least 237 wounded people, while diplomats initially put the wounded toll at 1500. Didier Boutsindi of the presidential office said untold numbers of people were trapped in a church that collapsed. A number of wounded, many wearing military uniforms, were seen receiving first aid in the streets. The blasts, which even blew out windows across the Congo River in Kinshasa, were set off by a blaze in two munition depots in the Mpila armoured brigade barracks, in the east of Brazzaville, according to soldiers who refused to be named.

Tear gas and stun grenades were fired to break up the demonstration, held as anger grows over changes to the voting system. The Gulf state has announced fresh parliamentary elections in December. But the opposition has urged a boycott, saying changes to the electoral law are a constitutional coup. Sunday's (October 21) protest was the latest in a string of demonstrations, as the political power struggle escalates between parliament and the ruling government. Activists said up to 50000 people gathered to take part. Two former MPs and a journalist were among at least 15 people detained by police.

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>
