Lebanon patriarch opposes Hezbollah on eve of vote
Lebanon's Maronite Christian patriarch said on Saturday his country faced a threat to its existence, appearing to take sides against Hizbullah and its allies on the eve of an election whose outcome will be decided by the Christian vote.
The influential Cardinal Nasrallah Boutros Sfeir, who has already warned of "mistakes" were the Islamist group and its allies to win the election, spoke of "a threat to the Lebanese entity and its Arab identity". His remarks were reported by the National News Agency. (Reuters)
