Unmasking Hezbollah - Who was behind the assassination of Rafic Hariri? (2/3) | DW Documentary
In 2008, the United States launched "Project Cassandra." The aim was to uncover how Hezbollah uses drug trafficking and money laundering to finance its military and terrorist activities. The three-part series tells the story of the project.
This three-part series tells the story of "Project Cassandra" through the testimony of DEA agents and others who were directly involved. It is a story that helps explain the history and rise of Hezbollah and brings a complex geopolitical story to a wider audience.
The assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafic Hariri on February 14, 2005 sent Lebanon and the international community into shock. All eyes turned to Syria, which was accused of being behind the assassination. Bashar al-Assad's army, which had occupied part of the country, was forced to withdraw under pressure from the local population. With the Syrian withdrawal, Hezbollah lost a long-standing ally and protector. And it also found itself in the spotlight: suspected of complicity in the murder of Hariri.

As an Ethiopian 🇪🇹 I look at Middle Eastern people who has systematically oppressed women, Black/Africans, Jews and the LGBTQ community, categorically rejected democracy and peace deals, and been responsible for virtually all terrorism in the world. Several of the worlds richest nations are in the region, still not a single one has been willing to help their own people. Yet, somehow, they are always the victims. Now, make it make sense? I don't feel the slightest bit of empathy for any of them nor one single iota of sympathy for their cause, because whatever they are going through, they have no one but themselves to blame. Now, PLEASE ANYONE, I dare you to prove me wrong!

Thanks for showing this well made production. I wondered why the libanese criminal clan issues in Germany haven't been covered, but realised this is a french production in the credits. DW, you are doing a fine job lately uploading significantly more informative and valuable original content from other sources than your own, it seems a lot of them are coming from France lately. Well done, the invested butt hurt antagonists in the comment section prove this is all too important and right to let the world know, especially when so much misinformation is out there.
