Roads Blocked in Protest at Wahhab's Anti-Hariri Remarks

[An Nahar] Several roads were blocked Tuesday evening in the capital Beirut in protest at remarks voiced by ex-minister Wiam Wahhab against Prime Minister-designate 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.
The Traffic Management Center said protesters blocked the road between Qasqas and the airport, the Sports City road near Tariq al-Jedideh, the nearby Cola roundabout and the vital Corniche al-Mazraa highway.

The coastal highway between Beirut and the South had witnessed similar protests overnight.

Movement’s leadership meanwhile issued a statement urging "members and citizens in the capital and all regions to refrain from any negative reactions such as road blocking and tire burning."

Urging them to "abide by the law, cooperate with the competent authorities and not to heed calls that could harm stability," the leadership asked al-Mustaqbal’s regional departments to "address any violation on the ground in order to preserve the safety of citizens’ movement."
