Al Jumhuriyah newspaper reported on Monday that the discussions over the resignation of the cabinet of PM Nagib Mikati have been accelerated during the past 24 hours. It will be replaced by a neutral cabinet of technocrats that will also be headed by Mikati.

The deterioration of security in the country was reported as the main reason behind the discussions, specially since Lebanon has became ” the eye of the storm” as a result of the Syrian uprising, according to the daily

on Saturday three key Gulf countries issued travel advisories in which they prevented their citizens from visiting Lebanon, citing security as the main concern

On Sunday the murder of the anti Syrian cleric Sheikh Ahmad Abdel Wahid and his bodyguard Mohammad Hussein Merheb sparked tension in several Lebanese areas leading protesters to block roads throughout Lebanon including the capital. Clashes in Tariq Al Jadidah left 3 people dead and several injuries.

Last April Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea survied an assassination attempt.

The military public prosecutor has reportedly detained 3 army officers and 19 soldiers in connection with the killing of the Muslim cleric. Army chief general Jean Kahwaji appealed for calm and told the people of Akkar that whoever is behind the killing will be arrested no matter who and told them the army is yours, not your adversary.

      No dateam … I think those guys were in blue plastic suits. 🙂  This guy looks like one of the ‘local inspectors’ on any street who dives into anything to ‘have a look’ … and be able to say ‘I saw’ … the streets are full of them … they gather around tv news-people to both hear what’s being said, and to make sure nothing they don’t like is being said – at least not without an argument. Smart to keep his hands off probably.
      Later it can be a religious statement about ‘witnessing the blood of the Martyr’ – always more effective than saying there was blood on the seat. 🙂
      A lot of people with nothing but time on their hands. Will be more when the tourists heed the ‘news’.
