Jump To Comment: 1The polls follow the funeral of Samir Qasir, an anti-syrian journalist who was murdered in a car-bomb on thursday last. Since a car-bomb killed Hariri, there have been over 11 car-bomb attacks in Lebanon, in contrast to less than 5 last year.
The four rounds of regional voting are the first in 30 years to be held without the presence of Syrian troops, which withdrew from Lebanon in April.
Last Sunday, anti-Syrian candidates won all 19 seats in elections in the Lebanese capital, Beirut.
where 9 of the 12 seats were taken by the Hariri martyr list headed by the son and heir to thedead billionaire "father of lebanon".
However, pro-Syrian candidates are expected to win almost all 23 contested seats in this second round in the south (which borders Israel).
