Syrian/ Labanese developments..Former Lebanese premier Rafiq Hariri, assassinated by an apparent suicide car bomber, is to be buried Wednesday amid acrimony and recriminations in a ceremony. After Hariri and 14 other people, including seven of his bodyguards, were killed Monday in what a senior minister said was apparently a suicide bombing, the government had said a "national funeral" would be held. It also declared three days of national mourning for the five-times former premier, in which all institutions, public and private, are to remain closed. A relative said the funeral would be held at noon (1000 GMT) at the Mohammed al-Amin Mosque in Beirut's city center, a place of worship that billionaire Hariri had helped restore following Lebanon's civil war. Lebanon's anti-Syrian opposition called for the pro-Syrian government to resign and for Syrian troops to quit the country, after a meeting held at Hariri's home. The opposition blamed the governments in Beirut and Damascus for Hariri's death and demanded a three-day general strike.
