Syria’s military domination of Lebanon, lasting nearly three decades, drew to a close in April 2005, two months after the assassination of Mr. Hariri, in which a United Nations investigation has implicated Syria.
Mr. Hrawi had five children from two marriages.

Hrawi, who helped Syria dominate Lebanon during his nine years in office, died on Friday after a long fight with a chronic illness, a senior Lebanese official said. He was 81. The official said Hrawi died Friday afternoon at the American University Hospital in Beirut, where he had been receiving treatment for weeks. Hrawi was elected by parliament for a six-year term as Lebanon‘s 10th president in November 1989. His prime mission at the time was to oversee implementation of an Oct. 1989 peace treaty brokered by the Arab League to end Lebanon‘s 15-year-old civil war, and rebuilding the shattered country.(AP Photo/Hussein Malla)
