Lebanon's Daily Star Says 'Hariri's Case Gathering Momentum'
Leila Hatoum, of staff reporter for The Daily Star of Lebanon, reported February 28, 2005 that "Saudi leaders will be seeking information about the slaying of former Lebanese premier Rafik Hariri when Syrian Foreign Minister Farouk Sharaa visits the kingdom." She quoted an anonymous Saudi official as saying:
We cannot accuse Syria or Syrian security services of orchestrating Hariri's murder as there is no proof. But we hope Syria will have information about the murder, given its military and security presence in Lebanon and we hope the Syrian foreign minister will brief us on the information available to his government.Meanwhile, Ms. Hatoum reported, "Sidon MP Bahia Hariri, the sister of Mr. Hariri, said "Before the arrival of the UN team [investigating Mr. Hariri's assassination], all we heard were accusations and speeches aimed at tampering with people's minds. But the Lebanese are smart and they will not fall into calls of sedition," she opined. Here's more of the story.
