Saad Hariri Will Be Lebanon return from Saudi Arabia 'within days'

Mr Hariri told a channel from Riyadh that he was free and would "return to Lebanon very soon"

"I have resigned. I am going to Lebanon very soon and I will resign in the constitutional manner," he said in the interview.

Mr Hariri recognised that he did not resign in the "usual way" but said he wanted to give his country a "positive shock".

"My resignation came as a wake-up call for Lebanon," he said.

Iran and its Lebanese ally, the militant group Hezbollah, have accused Saudi Arabia of holding Mr Hariri hostage.
But interestingly Mr Hariri rejected the statement from Hazbollah and said
he was free to travel as he pleased in the country. "I am free here. If I want to travel tomorrow, I will," he said.
