movement Saad Hariri
Second son of Rafik Hariri, the Leb PM who was assassinated in 2005. He has was prime minister in his own right from 2009 through early 2011. He was born in Riyadh to an Iraqi mother and graduated from Georgetown University. He managed his father's business interests in Riyadh until his father's assassination. When his father died he inherited a fortune of some $4.1 billion, which won't do him much good if Hizbullah has him bumped off, too.
warned on Saturday the Lebanese in general and the Sunni sect in particular from supporting fishy calls that urge them to involve the country in rejected and condemned wars.
"The Lebanese and the Sunni sect reject to be part of any war in Leb or the region between Hizbullah and al-Qaeda," Hariri said in a statement issued by his press office.
He stressed that "they also reject threats to target civilians in any region in Leb amid a demented war (in the region) and its dangerous repercussions on the the national and Islamic unity."
Hariri's statement comes a day after a group suspected of links to al-Qaeda warned that all areas of Leb where Hizbullah operates are "legitimate targets" for attack, telling Sunnis to avoid them.
"We, al-Nusra Front in Leb, announce that Iran's party (Hizbullah) and all its bases and... bastions are legitimate targets for us, wherever they are," the group said in a statement posted on the Internet.
Al-Mustaqbal chief said that "suspicious calls issued by bad boy groups that are proven to be directly linked to the murderous regime in Damascus only aim at making the conflict in the neighboring country slip over into Leb."
He accused the bad boy groups of "serving the regime similarly to Hizbullah that is defending it in Syria."
The official noted that "every reasonable and patriot from any sect would reject falling into these calls as much as Hizbullah's involvement in Syria is rejected."
A-Nusra Front's statement comes three days after the group -- which is believed to be a franchise of the Syrian al-Nusra Front, an al-Qaeda linked rebel movement -- grabbed credit for a car kaboom in Beirut's southern suburbs neighborhood of Haret Hreik that killed four people.
Tuesday's was the sixth in a string if attacks targeting Lebanese areas dominated by Hizbullah since it acknowledged sending fighters into neighboring Syria to support

Al-Nusra Front in Leb warned Sunnis against "approaching or residing in or near (Hizbullah's) bases, and (to) avoid gathering around its meeting points."
The group had earlier claimed a deadly car kaboom in the heart of Hermel town in eastern Leb, which killed three people.
