From Monsters and Critics.com Middle East News Beirut - The Lebanese cabinet late Wednesday said it would back down on actions targeted against the Lebanese Muslim Shiite Hezbollah that prompted days of fighting between rival militias and almost plunged the country into a civil war. 'The cabinet decided to cancel decisions to save the security and the co-existence in the country,' Information Minister Ghazi Aridi said after a late cabinet meeting. Tensions between the opposition Hezbollah and the majority erupted after the government said it would investigate a Hezbollah telephone network and reassign airport security chief Colonel Wafik Chouckair over his alleged links to the group. © Copyright 2007 by monstersandcritics.com.
