 Lebanese legislator Bahiya Al-Hariri, sister of slain former Prime Minister Rafik Al-Hariri, said she had recently received advice cautioning her against making too many movements for fear of being targeted by a criminal act.

Speaking to KUNA, during a phone interview, the MP said she remained in her residence in the town of Majdelyoun near the southern port city of Sidon.
| "And we have the drawbridge up. There are fresh crocodiles in the moat. And I've got a new food-taster. The other one... ummm... got sick. And died. Slowly. |
She added that the advice had come to her "from local and foreign officials."
| "Bahiya! Watch yer back! I can say no more!" |
She said she was not scared, "but concerned about the likely repercussions of the current investigation on Hariri's murder probe." She stressed that after her brother's assassination, "there is no point being afraid. However, one should be cautious."

Her nephew, MP Saad Al-Hariri, is currently living abroad in fear of his life. Others like him include MPs Walid Jumblatt, Ghazi Al-Aridi and Naela Muawwad. Saad Al-Hariri had said, on a number of occasions that he had received telephone threats.
"Whoever killed Rafik Al-Hariri, is capable of killing Saad al-Hariri and all the Hariri family," Saad was quoted as saying.
| "And everybody else in sight!" |
