Daily Telegraph: Hariri asks to revive Lebanon anti-Syria protest
Lebanon-Syria, Politics, 2/13/2006

Daily Telegraph reported that "The son of Rafik Hariri, the murdered former prime minister of Lebanon, appealed yesterday for a huge turnout on the first anniversary of his father's death - an event that changed the political landscape of the entire Levant."

Daily Telegraph reported "Saad Hariri has returned to Beirut from six months of self-exile to try to unite the Lebanese as they mark the Valentine's Day bombing. 'Participation is an important national duty,' said Mr Hariri, a member of parliament who heads an anti-Syrian coalition."

Daily Telegraph reported "Months of detailed investigation by Lebanese experts, helped by a well-staffed UN team, has so far failed to find conclusive evidence of Syrian involvement, Mr Hariri stayed abroad fearing for his life after attacks on anti-Syrian figures in Lebanon. He said a wave of 'terrorist acts' against anti-Syrian forces was designed to weaken Lebanon. 'They are giving Lebanon two alternatives: chaos, or a return to the security regime, a regime of tutelage and domination.'"

Speaking about the UN investigation into the incident of assassination of Hariri last February 14th, the Daily Telegraph reported "Japanese forensic investigators were able to trace the vehicle to Syria where it was last seen being driven by a Syrian colonel across the border into Lebanon three weeks before the blast. But while the inquiry has been able to fill in some of these details, it has not found enough evidence to pin the crime on individual members of the Syrian regime."
