The blast from the 77-pound bomb packed inside a BMW hurled Hajj's body more than 100 yards from his car and damaged nearby buildings in the upscale Baabda district close to the presidential palace...

Dani had been a debate-team champion, traveled for brief stints on scholarships he'd won to study civics in the U.S., Slovenia and Bulgaria, and served two terms as high school class president. He'd also had a blast, working late nights in his teens at a local radio station and playing drums in a rock band...
