| Lebanon army chief threatens to resign if 2 governments emerge |
| 2007-07-25 |
| Lebanese army commander Gen. Michel Suleiman warned that he would resign if two competing governments emerged as a result of a presidential vacancy. Suleiman said he would submit his resignation on Nov. 24, the day the term of President Emile Lahoud expires, if rival legislators failed to elect a new head of state. The army commander said he would not tolerate a political divide that would threaten Lebanon's unity and the military institution. "If they create two governments, I will personally hand in my resignation to each of the two governments and I will go home," Suleiman was quoted as telling ambassadors as well as political and spiritual leaders. |
