Future bloc leader MP Fouad Siniora hailed on Tuesday his friend, assassinated former prime Minster Rafic Hariri, as a “charismatic” leader whose relations with world leaders troubled his opponents, prompting them to "sabotage" his achievements. “Every time he made an accomplishment during meetings with Arab and world leaders such as building new connections … Hariri used to say God help us when we return to Beirut,” added Siniora. “The Lebanese-Syrian security regime tried to sabotage his achievements made abroad,” the MP stressed. Siniora also revealed that Hariri once told him that Hezbollah plotted to assassinate the latter on several occasions.
