A roadside bomb packed with nuts and bolts exploded near a bus in this northern city Wednesday, killing 18 soldiers and civilians in Lebanon's deadliest bombing in more than three years. Many suspected the attack was staged by an al-Qaida-inspired group to avenge a 2007 military offensive. Some questioned whether it was an attempt to disrupt a trip by Lebanese President Michel Suleiman to Syria later in the day to patch up relations between the neighboring nations. That visit brought a key agreement for the two countries to establish full diplomatic relations for the first time, a move that could ease tensions that have fueled Lebanon's turmoil. On Tuesday, the Lebanese parliament approved a new national unity government in Beirut that groups pro-Western Factions and Syria's ally, the Hezbollah militant group - another step that Lebanese hope will move the country past three years of political crisis. But the attack in Lebanon's second largest city cast a shadow over political progress. ... Source: www.naharnet.com --- 64 days ago

Syria agreed Thursday to begin negotiations with Lebanon on demarcating their border, making its second concession in two days to longtime demands from the Lebanese as they seek to normalize relations with their dominant larger neighbor. Formally setting the border is a key symbolic move recognizing Lebanon's sovereignty, as was Syria's agreement a day earlier for the two nations to establish diplomatic relations for the first time. But the agreements won't mean an end to Syrian influence in Lebanon, and some Lebanese - as well as Washington - remain concerned that the Damascus regime will continue to try to exercise power over its neighbor. Syria agreed to the steps only after a Lebanese unity government was formed Tuesday that gives the Syrian-allied Hezbollah a strong say in Lebanon's decision-making. Syria also has a relatively friendly president in Lebanon: Michel Suleiman, who was installed as a compromise in May after Hezbollah blocked pro-Western Factions from electing an anti-Syria politician. Still, Lebanese on all sides hope the new government will ease the power struggle between pro-Western and pro-Syrian Factions that has kept Lebanon in turmoil the past three years. The union is fragile, however, and an attempt by either side to push its agenda too strongly could revive tensions. ...

AP - Lebanese political Factions reached a compromise on Hezbollah's arsenal, the information minister said Friday, releasing a vaguely worded draft statement that implies the militant group can keep its weapons. ...
Beirut Spring analyzed the agreement between Hezbollah and Salafist Factions in Lebanon. He considers it a strategic gain for the party, and calls on the pro-West March 14th movement to try creativity out. The agreement also goes against the tide of sectarianism spreading in the region. Salafists largely consider Shia' Muslims heretics. Salafist groups not in on the deal opposed it vigorously. A politician from Tripoli called the Angry Arab and claimed "Hariri's Intelligence Apparatus is running the city, and that the Israeli weapons in the hands of Hariri Salafis were supplied to them by the Lebanese Forces." The Salafists may be headed towards a diametrically-opposed split. Then again, we are talking about Lebanon, where Michel Oun became a Hezbollah buddy and now Walid Jumblat is taking up workers rights and Palestine, again. Lebanese politics is defined by shifting allegiances of uncertain shelf lives. ...
