US ambassador to Lebanon summoned amid tensions
None
Lebanon's Foreign Ministry summoned the US ambassador Monday over concerns that she is interfering with internal politics after the Shiite militant group Hezbollah forced the collapse of the Western-backed government last week, officials said.
The controversy stems from a meeting this weekend between US envoy Maura Connelly and lawmaker Nicolas Fattouch, who is seen as a key "undecided" lawmaker as Lebanon's political factions scramble to form a new government. (AP)
