Prime Minister Saad Hariri returns to Lebanon

(CNN) — Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri has returned to Lebanon. His plane landed in Beirut Tuesday night.

Hariri unexpectedly resigned two weeks ago. He quit during a trip to Saudi Arabia, saying he feared his life was in danger. The resignation sparked speculation he was being held hostage in Saudi Arabia.

On Saturday, Hariri arrived in France, where he announced he would “be in Beirut in the next few days” to take part in independence day celebrations, which are scheduled for Wednesday.
