	Who killed Rafik Hariri? \| Guardian daily comment \| Guardian Unlimited
		If Syria killed Rafik Hariri, Lebanon's former prime minister and mastermind of its revival after the civil war, it must be judged an act of political suicide.

		Hariri bounced back as a prime minister in 2000 for another four year term, only to fall out again over Syria's role in the country.
		Born in the southern port of Sida to a poor Sunni Family, Hariri's march into success in business and politics went against the grain of Levantine politics, where, historically, key figures on the complicated, and often treacherous, political scene, rely, for their success let alone personal survival, on their powerful clans or strong political families.
