| Lebanon 'March 14' followers rally for slain Hariri |
| 2010-02-15 |
| Tens of thousands of supporters of Lebanon's majority "March 14" camp flocked into downtown Beirut on Sunday for a rally marking the fifth anniversary of the slaying of former premier Rafiq Hariri. "We are here for Rafiq Hariri and all the other Lebanese who were assassinated," said Souraya Saleh, a mother of two from Naameh, south of the capital. "Hariri was our father, the father of all the Lebanese. We owe this city to him," she told AFP. Hariri's assassination in a massive car bombing on February 14, 2005 saw the rise of a U.S.- and Saudi-backed alliance that became known as March 14, named after a day of massive anti-Syrian protests dubbed the "Cedar Revolution." |
