Hizbullah's deputy leader Sheik Naim Kassem said the group will "return things" to normal after the government reversed key decisions that had triggered days of conflict.

Kassem's comments Thursday came after a meeting with an Arab delegation that is trying to find a solution to Lebanon's worst crisis since the end of the 1975-90 civil war.

 

Clashes between supporters of the government and the Hizbullah-led opposition broke out last week after the Cabinet decided to sack the airport security chief for alleged ties to Hizbullah and declared the militants' private telephone network illegal.

 

The government reversed those decisions Wednesday. Kassem's comments signal Hizbullah may end its civil disobedience campaign and reopen roads in the capital Beirut.
