BEIRUT (Reuters) - Some 3,000 mourners chanted anti-Syrian slogans on Thursday at the funeral of a Lebanese legislator killed in a car bomb attack that deepened Lebanon's political crisis.
Walid Eido was the seventh anti-Syrian figure to be assassinated since February 2005, when former Prime Minister Rafik al-Hariri was killed in a suicide truck bombing.
Mr Eido, his son, two bodyguards and six passers-by were killed

Allies of Eido said the killing was Syria's response to a U.N. Security Council vote last week establishing a court to try suspects in the Hariri attack.
But Syria denied any links to Eido's assassination. "Syria strongly denounces this crime and condemns the campaign of lies by some Lebanese used to accuse Syria after any killing and before an investigation even starts," a Syrian Foreign Ministry statement said.
Eido's death is likely to fuel tension between the government and the opposition, led by the pro-Syrian Shi'ite Hezbollah group, which has also condemned the killing.
As the funeral procession moved slowly through the streets of Beirut, mourners shouted slogans against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and his ally, Lebanese President Emile Lahoud, yelling: "O Beirut, we want revenge against Lahoud and Bashar."
