The car bomb that killed former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafic Hariri in Beirut on February 14, 2005 sent shockwaves through the region and pushed Syrian troops out of Lebanon after nearly three decades of occupation. This three-part series tracks the fallout, from suspicion falling on Damascus to the spotlight shifting onto Hezbollah, and runs in parallel with the story of Project Cassandra, the 2008 US Drug Enforcement Administration operation that traced how the group allegedly used drug trafficking and money laundering networks stretching from Latin America to West Africa to fund its military wing. DEA agents who worked the case describe the investigation's reach and its abrupt political stalling. The series draws on their testimony alongside other officials directly involved, laying out how a criminal financial network, an assassination, and a militant organization's rise are tied together. It is dense, sourced reporting rather than a simple retelling, aimed at viewers who want the mechanics behind the headlines about Hezbollah and Lebanon.
