He died from injuries sustained when a massive bomb exploded on the Beirut seafront as he passed by in former Lebanese prime minister Rafik Hariri's motorcade on 14 February 2005. Early years and educationFleihan was born in Ain Zhalta on 10 September 1963.[1] He attended International College. He received a bachelor of arts degree in economics from the American University of Beirut (AUB) in 1984.[1] Then he obtained a master of arts degree in international and development economics from Yale University in 1985.[2] He also held a PhD in economics from Columbia University in 1990.[4] His PhD dissertation was entitled “Customs Unions, Growth and Economic Diversification”.[3] CareerFrom 1988 to 1993, Fleihan worked at the International Monetary Fund in Washington DC.[4] He worked there as an advisor and then senior advisor to the Saudi executive director.[3] He also worked at the United Nations Development Programme.[4] In 1993, he left his job and returned to Lebanon, where he had been asked to assist in the post-war rehabilitation of the ministry of finance. While working as an adviser at the ministry, from 1993 to 1999, Fleihan also taught economics at his old alma mater, AUB.[5] Fleihan was first elected to the Parliament of Lebanon in 2000, winning the Protestant seat in Beirut's first electoral district, and became the only Protestant member of the Parliament.[6][7] He ran as a member of Hariri's "Dignity of Beirut" electoral list.[8] In October 2000, he was appointed minister of economy and trade to the cabinet led by then prime minister Rafik Hariri.[9] He held this position until 2003, and was replaced by Marwan Hamadeh.[10] Fleihan played a role in the development of Lebanon's economic reform program, which was presented by Hariri to international donors at a Paris conference in November 2002.{{Citation needed|date= May 2018}} Donors pledged $4.3 billion in soft loans; the plan was never fully implemented, but Lebanon did ultimately receive $2.39 billion from the donors.{{Citation needed|date= May 2018}} Personal lifeFleihan was a Protestant and a member of the National Evangelical Church of Beirut. Fleihan is survived by his wife, Yasma Fleihan, their children, Rayna (born 1999) and Rayan (born 2001), and his brother Ramsay and his family.[11] Death and funeralThe day before the Hariri assassination, Fleihan was in Geneva, Switzerland. Although his wife had tried to convince him to extend his stay in Europe, Fleihan insisted on returning to Lebanon for an extraordinary Parliamentary session scheduled for 14 February 2005. After the session, Fleihan joined Hariri in his motorcade to head back to the latter's mansion in West Beirut. About half-way through their journey, a one-ton truck bomb exploded as they passed through the city's upscale seafront hotel district. At least a dozen people—including Hariri and several of his bodyguards—were killed instantly; the final death toll rose to 21. A United Nations investigation of the incident by Detlev Mehlis, released in October 2005, pointed the finger at Syrian and Lebanese officials. Despite being seated beside Hariri when the explosion occurred, Fleihan lived through the attack;[12] however, severe burns covered over 95% of his body.[13] Fleihan was firstly taken to the intensive care unit of the American University Hospital.[14] Then he was airlifted to Percy Military Hospital in Clamart (suburb of Paris),[15] where he survived for 64 days before finally succumbing to his injuries. He died on 18 April 2005.[11] Fleihan's body was taken to Lebanon and funeral service was held at a Protestant church in Beirut.[16] His body was buried in Tohwita, suburb of Beirut, on 22 April.[17][18] LegacyHis family established Basil Fuleihan Foundation in Lebanon after his death. The aim of the foundation is stated to be the provision of the basis for tomorrow’s Lebanon by promoting improvements in public policy and public service.[19] In February 2006, the finance institute at Lebanese finance ministry was named the "Bassel Fleihan finance and economy institute", which Fleihan actively contributed its foundation in 1996.[20] References1. ^1 {{cite web|title=Lebanon Who's Who|url=http://www.al-bab.com/arab/countries/lebanon/biogah.htm|work=Arab Gateway|accessdate=24 March 2013|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20120716191829/http://www.al-bab.com/arab/countries/lebanon/biogAH.htm|archivedate=16 July 2012|df=dmy-all}} 2. ^{{cite news|title=Former Lebanese minister dies from injuries|url=http://www.middle-east-online.com/english/?id=13253|accessdate=18 March 2013|work=Middle East Online|date=18 April 2005}} 3. ^1 {{cite web|title=Curriculum Vitae of Dr. Basil Fleihan|url=http://www.basilfuleihanfoundation.org/cv.htm|work=Basil Fleihan Foundation|accessdate=23 July 2012}} 4. ^1 {{cite news|title=Fleihan dies from his wounds|url=http://www.iol.co.za/news/world/fleihan-dies-from-his-wounds-1.238995#.UUd8HhxSjm4|accessdate=18 March 2013|work=IOL News|date=18 April 2005|location=Beirut}} 5. ^{{cite news|title=Lebanese MP dies from injuries sustained in Beirut blast|url=http://www.itp.net/481708-lebanese-mp-dies-from-injuries-sustained-in-beirut-blast/#.UUd7WRxSjm4|accessdate=18 March 2013|work=ITP|date=18 April 2005}} 6. ^{{cite news|title=Opposition Candidates Win Elections|url=http://www.thefreelibrary.com/LEBANON+-+Sept.+3+-+Opposition+Candidates+Win+Elections.-a073739331|accessdate=10 March 2013|work=APS Diplomat Recorder|date=9 September 2000}} 7. ^{{cite news|title=Lebanon: Protestant Christians Wounded in Car Bomb Blast|url=http://www.stanet.ch/apd/news/archiv/3453.html|accessdate=22 March 2013|newspaper=APD|date=16 February 2005}} 8. ^{{cite news|title=Murr Releases Official Results of Lebanon’s Second Round of Elections|url=http://www.albawaba.com/news/murr-releases-official-results-lebanon%E2%80%99s-second-round-elections|accessdate=27 March 2013|work=Albawaba|date=5 September 2000}} 9. ^{{cite news|title=Hariri Forms Govt|url=http://www.thefreelibrary.com/LEBANON+-+Oct.+26+-+Hariri+Forms+Govt.-a073739516|accessdate=19 March 2013|work=APS Diplomat Recorder|date=28 October 2000}} 10. ^{{cite web|title=Former Ministers|url=http://www.economy.gov.lb/index.php/aboutUs/2|publisher=Ministry of Economy and Trade|accessdate=5 October 2012}} 11. ^1 2 {{cite news|title=Bassel Fleihan Dies in Paris from Severe Burns in Hariri's Assassination|url=http://old.naharnet.com/domino/tn/newsdesk.nsf/0/f90b724230bec435c2256fe700308db8?opendocument|accessdate=23 July 2012|work=Naharnet|date=18 April 2005}} 12. ^{{cite news|title=Two former ministers survive Lebanon blast|url=http://www.lebanonwire.com/0502/05021406AFP.asp|accessdate=18 March 2013|newspaper=Lebanon Wire|date=14 February 2005|agency=AFP|location=Beirut}} 13. ^{{cite news|author=Liz Cheney|title=Conducting diplomacy in Syria is shameful|url=http://www.deseretnews.com/article/660211548/Conducting-diplomacy-in-Syria-is-shameful.html|accessdate=18 March 2013|newspaper=Deseret News|date=15 April 2007}} 14. ^{{cite news|title=Former PM Rafik Hariri Killed in Explosion in Beirut|url=http://www.aina.org/news/20050214100425.htm|accessdate=18 March 2013|work=AINA|date=14 February 2005|location=Beirut}} 15. ^{{cite journal|author=Mohalhel Fakih |title=A city mourns |journal=Al Ahram Weekly |date=17–23 February 2005 |volume=730 |url=http://weekly.ahram.org.eg/2005/730/re21.htm |accessdate=15 April 2013 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130325062137/http://weekly.ahram.org.eg/2005/730/re21.htm |archivedate=25 March 2013 |df=dmy }} 16. ^{{cite news|title=Thousands attend funeral of Lebanon minister killed with Hariri|url=http://www.lebanonwire.com/0504/05042204AFP.asp|accessdate=18 March 2013|work=Lebanonwire|date=22 April 2005|agency=AFP}} 17. ^{{cite news|title=Victim of Hariri bombing buried|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/4473959.stm|accessdate=18 March 2013|work=BBC|date=22 April 2005}} 18. ^{{cite news|title=March 14 Officials Lay Wreaths at Graves of Cedar Revolution Martyrs|url=http://www.naharnet.com/stories/en/75583-march-14-officials-lay-wreaths-at-graves-of-cedar-revolution-martyrs|accessdate=18 March 2013|work=Naharnet|date=14 March 2013}} 19. ^{{cite web|title=Our vision|url=http://www.basilfuleihanfoundation.org/foundation.htm|publisher=Basil Fleihan Foundation|accessdate=23 July 2012}} 20. ^{{cite news|title=Finance Institute Named After Bassel Fleihan|url=http://old.naharnet.com/domino/tn/NewsDesk.nsf/getstory?openform&C3787F8D272704E6C225711700399FD8|accessdate=18 March 2013|work=Naharnet|date=16 February 2006}} External links
