Bahaa Hariri tweeted: “In a despicable and heinous act, an image was published, through manipulating Google Maps, for the site of the tomb of Martyr Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, by symbolizing it with infamous and despicable terms, that indicate the morals of its authors.”

In a second tweet, Hariri said: “Rafik Hariri is greater than your terrorism, hatred and deliberate defamation, of a man who gave Lebanon all good, and what you offered him in return, is killing and terrorism represented by your leadership, your weapons and your project. The tomb of my father, the martyr Rafik Hariri, will remain a symbol of sovereignty, freedom and independence.”
