![]() Opposition Christian MP Ayman Choucair added: "There is only one party responsible, the intelligence services." Following the explosion, Lahoud's office announced he would not attend the two-day Arab summit starting Tuesday in Algiers because of what it called "the exceptional circumstances in the country." The blast has led to concerns among many Lebanese that pro-Syrian elements are resorting to violence in order to provide a need for a continued presence by Syrian forces. Christian opposition member Pierre Gemayel, who visited the blast site, said: "This has been the message to the Lebanese people for a while to sow fear and terror among Lebanese citizens if there is a Syrian withdrawal from Lebanon, look what Lebanon will face." |
