Syria Recruits Palestinians To Fight In Lebanon
 Despite the fall of the Syrian-backed government, the regime of President Bashar Assad remains determined to stay in Lebanon. Lebanese opposition sources said Syria has not demonstrated any intention of withdrawing either its troops or more than 1 million laborers from Lebanon. The sources said Syrian intelligence has increased its presence around Beirut and was preparing a campaign to undermine stability in the country. On Monday, Lebanon's pro-Syrian government resigned amid massive anti-Syrian protests outside parliament. Prime Minister Omar Karameh would continue to oversee a caretaker government. "Today the government fell," opposition leader Elias Atallah said. "Tomorrow, it's the one huddled in Anjar."
