The New Hariri Strongman

Meet Hassan Sabaa, the new interior minister whose name frightens Jamil el Sayyed and the other security officers.



He was at one time the boss of Jamil el sayyed (the notorious security officer whose head is demanded by the opposition) and he has resigned in protest to his appointment as the head of the general security department.

He is now back with a vengeance, and guess what was the first thing he did when he was appointed interior minister? He visited Hariri's grave.

The security heads have already started panicking; Naharnet reports that they are simultaneously asking for one-month leaves.

No wonder why this guy is the new darling of the Hariri family.
