's life to the Judicial Council, noting that the government's "sudden" decision to "stop providing security agencies with telecom data" represents "collusion with the criminals."

"March 14 calls for referring the liquidation attempt against Dr. Samir Geagea to the Judicial Council, given that it was part of attempts to undermine security, civil peace and stability in the country and to target the scheme of building the Lebanese state," said a statement issued by the March 14 forces after a broad meeting held in Maarab in solidarity with Geagea.

"The conferees call on the government to immediately reverse its decision ... and to provide security agencies with telecom data, without any delay or obstructions, to enable them to perform their role in unveiling the criminals," said the statement.

"The March 14 forces reserve their right to take all the appropriate political, legal and popular steps should the government fail to meet this demand," the statement said.

The conferees stressed that the failed attack on Geagea was "an attack against the entire March 14 movement," stressing that they will "confront any attempt to incite civil strife or put Leb once again under the mercy of terrorism."
