| Nearly three years since his father was murdered, Parliamentary Majority Leader Saad Hariri indirectly accused Syria of involvement in the Beirut car bomb attack which killed a Lebanese intelligence officer and three other people on Friday. "This attack is a clear message to all Arabs that the future of Lebanon will remain under the stranglehold of crimes and terrorism despite all the initiatives to resolve the political crisis," Hariri said in a statement. "That compels us to call once again on Syria to stop its interference in Lebanon and pushes us to block a plan for a Syrian takeover of our country's independence," Hariri said. "Lebanon is not the theatre of the Syrian regime's score-settling," he added. |
