But WHY did they kill Hariri?

The Mehlis report was released, headlines all major outlets, and it says that Syrian governement officials were involved in the killing of Rafiq Hariri. I know next to nothing about the politics of Syria and Lebanon, so I don't debate the findings, but I find it strange in all the coverage that nobody is discussing WHY they would've killed him.

I remember the time, the US was upping pressure on Syria to withdraw, and then former prime minister Hariri was killed. From what I understand, he was still a pretty major player in Lebanese politics, but I don't know the specifics.

Anybody got a mainstream source that would tell me why this group of high level Syrians would want Hariri killed?

***Gonna be a light posting day. After three days of heavy Fitzgerald frenzy, I need a day off. If anything comes up, I will put it up immediately as always, but I don't think much will be revealed today. Tomorrow probably as everybody tries to set the spin for the week, but I don't expect much today. So, I'm going to go sit outside and play with my sixteen year old dog.

She still loves the pretty days.
