Former Lebanese General Wins in Latest Election Round
(Reuters/Yahoo) Nadim Ladki - Former general Michel Aoun scored a stunning win on Monday in Lebanon's parliamentary elections to emerge as the main Christian political force in the country, only weeks after returning from exile. Aoun-backed candidates won 15 of 16 seats in Sunday's third round of the polls in the Maronite Christian heartland northeast of Beirut. Aoun had been forced into exile by the Syrians in 1990.
