A Canadian man who used to live in Dearborn is being mourned in metro Detroit’s Lebanese-American communities after he was killed in a terrorist attack in a Beirut suburb in Lebanon. Hussein Ghamlouch, 52, who was in Beirut to get married to a woman there, was one of at least 27 people killed Thursday in the Rweiss district of Beirut in one of Lebanon’s deadliest bomb attacks in years.

Sunni extremists upset over Shias fighting in Syria for President Bashar Assad are suspected in the attack, which targeted a heavily Shi’ite area of Beirut that many in Dearborn have ties to. More than 300 were injured in the attack, according to the Associated Press. [Link]
