BEIRUT - Former prime minister Saad al-Hariri urged all of Lebanon to attend Sunday's funeral in central Beirut for slain intelligence official Wissam al-Hassan, an appeal which could transform the ceremony into a powerful political rally.
"Every one of you is personally invited tomorrow to Martyr's Square to the prayers for Wissam al-Hassan," Hariri said in a statement broadcast by Future Television on Saturday.
