"Soon afterward, money from Saudi and other conservative Sunni contributors started flowing generously into the coffers of Asbat al-Ansar, which is based near Hariri’s hometown of Sidon. Since then, Asbat al-Ansar has forged a close if quiet relationship with the Sunni establishment and the current anti-Syrian government of Prime Minister Fuad Siniora, which was formed after Hariri was murdered and Syrian troops withdrew in 2005."
