黎巴嫩总理萨阿德.哈里里表示,他曾经指控叙利亚对他父亲被杀负有责任,是错误的。
伦敦出版的阿拉伯报纸《中东日报》星期一发表了哈里里的这一评论。报导援引他的话说,这些指控是一个政治举动。
他的父亲,已故总理拉菲克.哈里里2005年在贝鲁特发生的一次大爆炸中丧生。
在爆炸事件发生之后,叙利亚被迫从黎巴嫩撤军,从而结束了叙利亚在黎巴嫩将近30年的驻军。
大马士革否认了联合国调查人员提出的指称,即叙利亚在哈里里的被暗杀过程中扮演了一个角色。
自那以后,哈里里总理一直努力修复同叙利亚的关系,包括在过去一年的时间里几次造访大马士革。
Lebanon’s prime minister has said he was wrong to accuse Syria in the murder of his father.
London-based Arabic newspaper Asharq al-Awsat published Prime Minister Saad al-Hariri’s comments Monday, quoting him saying the accusations were a political action.
His father, the late prime minister Rafik Hariri, was killed in a massive 2005 bombing in Beirut.
Syria was forced to withdraw its troops from Lebanon following the bombing, ending a nearly 30-year presence.
Damascus has denied allegations by U.N. investigators that it had a role in the assassination.
Mr. Hariri has since worked to repair relations with Syria, including making several trips to Damascus in the past year.
