Hassan Khaled was the leader of Lebanon's Sunni Muslim community.

He was considered a moderate, and upon his assassination was named as the "father of moderation," as he worked throughout his career to bring unity to the warring factions of the Lebanese Civil War. Khaled's assassination in 1989 was widely believed to be the work of Syria.
