Hizbullah to stage surprise actions against Lebanese government

A top Hizbullah official said the militant Shiite Muslim group will press ahead with threatened street protests and other peaceful means seeking to topple Lebanon's Western-backed government and will

stage its actions without warning.  Sheik Naim Kassem, Hizbullah's deputy secretary-general,

said Sunday that the group would not reveal details of planned activities beforehand.

"There is no specific time frame and no final plans. There is a basket of ideas which we will use the way we see fit for achieving our goals," he told the group's Al-Manar television.  His comments came a day after the Cabinet approved a plan for an international tribunal to try suspects in the assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.  (AP)
