Saad Hariri

Saad-eddine Rafiq Al-Hariri ( سعد الدين رفيق الحريري‎; born 18 April 1971) is a Lebanese/Saudi politician and former Prime Minister of Lebanon, following the collapse of his cabinet on 12 January 2011. He is the second son of Rafic Hariri, the former Lebanese Prime Minister who was assassinated in 2005. He has been prime minister since 9 November 2009 and is also Leader of Movement of the Future since 2005.

After his father's death, he inherited the helm of the Movement of the Future, an essentially Sunni movement that was created and led by his late father. He is also the leader of the March 14 Alliance, a coalition of political groups born out of the Cedar Revolution which, through mass popular demonstrations and Western support, led to the withdrawal of Syrian troops from Lebanon in 2005 after a 29-year presence.

Saad Hariri is the second son of Rafic Hariri, the assassinated former Lebanese Prime Minister and his wife Nidal Al-Bustani.

Hariri married Lara Bashir Al Adem in 1998 and has 3 children: Son Hussam, born 1999; Daughter Lulwa, born 2001; and Son Abdul Aziz, born 2005
