Anti-Syrian alliance claims victory in Lebanon / Led by son of slain leader, opponents win a majority in 128-seat parliament The election was the first to be held in nearly 30 years without the presence of Syrian troops, who arrived in 1976 early in Lebanon's civil war and were finally forced to leave under international pressure in April. It was a startling change in the way politics have usually been carried out in Lebanon -- along strict clan and religious lines and long under the control of Syria-- and perhaps an example of a greater yearning for democracy in the Arab world. An anti-Syrian alliance that tried to bridge religious lines and was led by Hariri's son, 35-year-old Saad Hariri, a Sunni Muslim, won at least 21 of 28 contested seats in northern Lebanon, the last polling area in the elections that have been staggered over the past four weekends. www.sfgate.com /cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/chronicle/archive/2005/06/20/MNG9NDB9EB1.DTL   (802 words)
