None
A stand-off between Lebanon's Prime Minister Saad Hariri and a pro-Syrian politician appeared to turn violent on Saturday, with reports of gunfire when police tried to issue the politician a summons for questioning over accusations of stirring strife.
The past few days have seen a sharp rise in tension in Lebanon, after video emerged of Druze politician Wiam Wahhab filmed at a gathering making obscene personal insults.
