"Al Anwar" published many significant interviews, including one with Saudi royal Prince Fahd , later King Fahd, in 1974. Following the assassination of the former Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri, the daily published three articles from 16 to 18 February 2005 the first two of which were written by editor-in-chief, Khoury. The last one was a commentary titled "The mentality of the paupers and a regime in coma" and was written by Rauf Shahuri. All articles condemned the assassination. In August 2013 the paper criticized the possible US-led intervention against Syria and stated the intervention would be like "Hollywood's action and horror movies".
