Grand Mufti Sheikh Mohammed Rashid Qabbani condemned the assassination of former Premier Rafik Hariri, calling it "an attack against all Sunnis in Lebanon." Speaking during an urgent meeting late Monday night in the Sunni religious headquarters Dar al-Fatwa, that was also attended by Prime Minister Omar Karami, Qabbani said: "This meeting for the Sunnis of Lebanon is urgently needed to discuss the dangerous situation resulting from the horrible crime that has killed the former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri." A statement issued by the meeting said: "The assassination of Rafik Hariri is an attack on the Sunnis' presence in the country; it is, as well, an attack on their role and their dignity." |
