Lebanon PM cancels independence day celebrations

Lebanon's state media say the prime minister has cancelled official independence day celebrations. The move likely stems from Lebanon's tense political situation and an impasse in electing the country's next president.

 

Friday's announcement from Prime Minister Tammam Salam's office cited the "current situation" for scrapping all government-hosted celebrations and a parade planned for Saturday.
