UN chief warns of rising tension in Lebanon
None
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon says political tensions in Lebanon have increased markedly ahead of expected indictments by the UN-backed tribunal set up to prosecute the assassins of former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri.
There has been increasing anger and suspicion in Lebanon about the tribunal's work, and mounting fears that indictments could re-ignite hostilities between rival Shiite and Sunni Muslims, particularly if Hezbollah Shiite militants are targeted. (AP)
