Lebanese prime minister resigns, saying his life in danger
BEIRUT, Nov 4 (Reuters) - Lebanese prime minister Saad al-Hariri resigned on Saturday in a televised broadcast, saying he feared a plot to target his life and criticising Iran and its Lebanese ally Hezbollah.
"We are living in a climate similar to the atmosphere that prevailed before the assassination of (his father the late prime minister) martyr Rafik al-Hariri. I have sensed what is being plotted covertly to target my life," he said.
