Lebanese-Syrian Security Apparatus

Lebanese-Syrian Security Apparatus

The Lebanese-Syrian Security Apparatus is a network of intelligence officers and security leaders in Syria and Lebanon that is believed to have been the actual ruling power behind the government during the Syrian Hegemony period that ended in 2005. There is a widespread belief in Lebanon that the security apparatus is behind many assassinations, including that of Rafik Hariri on February 14 2005.
