From the Economist Intelligence Brief, here
"...Mr Eid's force, the ISF, has been depicted as being politically tilted towards the Sunni Muslim community (of which Mr Hariri is a member), and its commander, Ashraf Rifi, has taken a notably harsher line than Mr Suleiman on Syria. Mr Rifi, for example, alleged that Syrian intelligence agents had played a part in the creation of Fatah al-Islam, an Islamist group that fought a bloody conflict with the Lebanese army at the Nahr al-Bared Palestinian refugee camp last summer; Mr Suleiman denied that there was any connection between Syria and Fatah al-Islam ... and that matters may indeed get considerably worse."
