Shafiq Hariri, the brother of Late Rafic Al-Hariri, who was assassinated in Beirut last week, arrived in Riyadh on Monday evening, accompanied by Baha'uddin, Saad'uddin, Ayman and Fahd, the sons of the deceased, and his family.


They were welcomed at King Khalid International Airport by Prince Sattam bin Abdulaziz, the Vice-Governor Riyadh region, and a number of senior officials.


Speaking on the occasion, Prince Sattam bin Abdulaziz slammed the assassination of Rafic Al-Hariri and described it as a criminal and vicious act, according to SPA news agency.


Prince Sattam said the death of Hariri constitutes a great loss not only to Lebanon and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, but also to the Arab and Muslim world.
