The Lebanese Prime Minister shocked his country by resigning while in Saudi Arabia. Some suggested Hariri was being held in Riyadh against his will. When he returned to Lebanon, he rescinded his resignation saying that was going to 'seek dialogue'. Journalist Azadeh Moaveni sees the original resignation as a failed attempt, on the part of Hariri and Saudi Arabia, to reduce the power of the Lebanese Shiite militant group Hezbollah.
