[ARABNEWS] Lebanese Prime Minister 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.
, who resigned on Nov. 4, will land in Cairo on Tuesday to meet the Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi "to complement his international and Arab tours," Hariri’s media office announced.
Arab League
...an organization of Arabic-speaking states with 22 member countries and four observers. The League tries to achieve Arab consensus on issues, which usually leaves them doing nothing but a bit of grimacing and mustache cursing...
Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul Gheit arrived in Beirut on Monday ‐ the day after his urgent meeting in the Egyptian capital with Arab foreign ministers, at which he condemned "the firing of an Iranian-made ballistic missile from Yemeni territories to Riyadh" and considered it "blatant aggression against Soddy Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face...
and a threat to Arab national security."
The statement released after the meeting held "the terrorist organization, Hezbollah, a major player in the Lebanese government, responsible for supporting terrorism and terrorist groups in Arab countries through providing them with advanced arms and ballistic missiles."
Aboul Gheit heard Lebanese President  Michel Aoun
...president of Leb, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hizbullah...
say: "Leb is not responsible for Arab or regional conflicts and had never attacked any country. Therefore, it must not pay the price for these conflicts."
Aoun stressed that "Leb faced Israeli aggression and managed to free its lands, but Israel continues to target Leb, which gives Lebanese people every right to resist and thwart Israel’s plans in every possible way."
He also refused to "suggest that the Lebanese government plays a role in terrorist acts," pointing out that "the stance of the permanent representative of Leb to the vaporous Arab League during the foreign ministers’ meeting reflects a strong national determination."
Leb objected to "the describing of Hezbollah as a terrorist organization, as well as referring to it as being part of the government."
In a statement released by the presidential palace after Aboul Gheit’s meeting with Aoun, Aboul Gheit said: "Arab states are keen on ensuring Leb’s illusory sovereignty, independence and role as well as protecting its unique political structure and refusing to allow any harm to get to it."
