Was Rafik Hariri's Assasination a Syrian hit?!
President Bashar Al-Asaad of Syria considered him a threat in the region and had threatened Hariri in regards to the removal of Lebanese President Emile Lahoud from Office:
The famous statement was:
"Lahoud represents me ...If you and French President Jacques Chirac want me out of Lebanon, I will destroy Lebanon".
The death of Rafic Hariri has raised a lot of Controversies around the regime of Bashar Al-Asaad and his ways. This has also caused a lot of concern in the region between the Strategic alliance between Syria, Iran and Hezbollah. This controversy also raises the question of who will be Lebanons next president as Hezbollah is a prominent force in the choice of Lebanons Future.
He was assasinated on 14 February 2005.His death is a great Loss to Lebanon. The UN has organised a special tribunal for Lebanon to Investigate his assasination.
