Hariri's children have all left Lebanon: friends

BEIRUT - The children of assassinated former prime minister Rafiq Hariri have left Lebanon in the past week, sources close to the family said Monday.
"They're in Saudi Arabia and in Europe," one of the sources, who requested anonymity, told AFP.
Hariri, who was killed by a huge explosion in Beirut on February 14, had five children, including a son who lives in Saudi Arabia and another in France. His wife Nazek and sister Bahia, who is an MP, have remained in Lebanon.
Sources close to the family said the departure of his three children living in Lebanon was linked to "security concerns", without providing further details.
