# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Hariri rose from businessman to become Lebanon's first prime minister after the civil war, serving from 1992 to 1998 and again from 2000 to 2004 across five cabinets. He was credited with helping construct the Taif Agreement that ended fifteen years of war, then led the reconstruction of Beirut's shattered capital. His second term saw Israel withdraw from southern Lebanon in 2000, ending an eighteen-year occupation, while his government maintained close ties with Syria. On 14 February 2005, a suicide truck bomb killed him in Beirut. Four Hezbollah members were later indicted; the Special Tribunal for Lebanon convicted three, including unit leader Salim Ayyash, though it found no evidence the group's senior leadership had ordered the attack. The assassination ignited the Cedar Revolution, mass protests that drove Syrian forces from Lebanon and brought down the government.
