In a statement on the anniversary of the ill-cited, May 17th Agreement, Jumblat's party, the PSP, issued a statement in which it credited King Fahd and Rafiq Hariri for undermining the agreement. Undermining? Read the biography of Nabih Birri by Nabil Haytham to learn of Rafiq Hariri acting as an emissary of Amin Gemayyel at that time, and trying to decrease Muslim opposition to Gemayyel. And read Bob Woodward's Veil to read about Saudi and American efforts (along side Amin Gemayyel's state militia) to prop up Gemayyel's rule, and remember that Saudi Arabia funded some covert activities at the time, including car bombs.
