Bin Laden on the Hariri Ticket in Lebanon

The Bin Laden factor remains an element in the Hariri political coalition in Lebanon. In north Lebanon, Bin Ladenite, Khalid Ad-Dahir, is running on the Hariri ticket in `Akkar. In the Biqa`, Sa`d Hariri attended the inaguration of the Hariri ticket while seated next to Mufti of Biqa`, Khalil Al-Mays, who was quite active in recruting fanatical Jihadis for Zarqawi. And the uncle of Ziyad Jarrah (one of the 19 hijackers) is running on the Hariri ticket and he is now an MP but he does not endorse the Bin Laden agenda--he says. And on the other side (in March 8), Fathi Yakan and his Islamic Action Front have Bin Ladenite tendencies.
