14 Feb, 2015

BEIRUT: Former prime minister Saad al-Hariri made a rare visit to Lebanon overnight and will make a speech marking the 10th anniversary of his father's assassination on Saturday, Lebanese media said.

He will speak at a ceremony dedicated to his father in central Beirut, state news agency NNA and pro-Hariri newspaper al-Mustaqbal said.

His father, Rafik al-Hariri, was killed in a 2005 Beirut waterfront bombing that almost tipped the country into civil war.
