Bombing attack on Christian Lebanese journalist (story)

BEIRUT, Lebanon (CNN) -- A bomb planted in the car of a prominent Lebanese journalist blew up Sunday, critically wounding her, the Lebanese Broadcasting Corporation and Lebanese security officials said.

Hours before Sunday's blast, Chidiac was hosting a program on LBC about the possible involvement of Syrians in the February assassination of former prime minister Rafik Hariri.

The death of Hariri, a leader of the opposition, sparked a wave of protests in the capital against what many viewed as an occupation. The protests help lead to Syria's announced withdrawal from the country.
