Lebanon's Bahaa al-Hariri declared on Friday he was entering Lebanese politics, saying he would join a battle "to take back the country" and follow in the footsteps of his slain father days after his brother, Saad, stepped away from public life.
In a recorded message, Bahaa, 55, said he would "continue the journey" of Rafik al-Hariri, who, with Saudi backing, established the Hariri family as the dominant player in Lebanon's Sunni community before his assassination in 2005.
