Lebanese leaders make some progress at Qatar talks
Rival Lebanese leaders made some progress on the third day of talks in Qatar on Sunday but tough obstacles remained before a deal could be clinched to pull Lebanon back from the brink of a new civil war.
Qatari Prime Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim bin Jabr al-Thani held intensive meetings with leaders of the US-backed ruling coalition and Iranian and Syrian allies in the opposition to try to end a crisis that has paralyzed the government for 18 months and left Lebanon with no president since November.(Reuters)
