Former Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri accused Syrian President Bashar Assad on Friday of being behind the huge car bomb which killed senior Lebanese intelligence official Wissam al-Hassan in central Beirut.
Asked by Future Television who was responsible for the killing, Hariri replied: "Bashar Hafez al-Assad," giving the full name of the Syrian president. Hariri's father, Rafik Hariri, was killed seven years ago in a bombing which his supporters blamed on Damascus and Hezbollah. (Reuters)
