| Hezbollah forces not to enter Jumblatt's house |
| 2008-05-12 |
| Opposition forces are not intending to enter Harriri's and Jumblatt's houses but they have not decided on entering Prime Ministery building. The former Lebanese minister, Wiam Wahhab, said that the opposition forces are not going to enter the houses of the leader of the pro-government bloc, Saad Harriri, and the Druze leader, Walid Jumblatt, but they are yet undecided on whether to enter the government building, where cabinet sessions are held. Referring to the death of three Hezbollah fighters, Wahhab said that apparently Jumblatt was not involved in the killings and the act murdering the fighters may have been committed on orders from one of his aides. After the Lebanese Army Commander, General Michel Suleiman, rescinded two anti-opposition decisions made earlier by the government, calm was restored to Beirut, which had been the scene of fierce fighting between supporters of the ruling bloc and the opposition in the past few days, with Lebanese troops patrolling Beirut after Hezbollah fighters pulled back from some of the areas they had occupied. |
