Hezbollah ministers quit Lebanese government
BEIRUT (Reuters) - Five pro-Syrian Shi'ite Muslim ministers from Hezbollah and its ally, the Amal movement, resigned from Lebanon's cabinet on Saturday after the collapse of all-party talks on giving their camp more say in government.
The resignation of all the Shi'ite ministers from the 24-member Western-backed cabinet came two days before it was scheduled to discuss a draft U.N. document setting up a tribunal to try the killers of former Prime Minister Rafik al-Hariri.
Many Lebanese blame Syria for Hariri's killing but Damascus denies involvement. Anti-Syrian majority leaders say Hezbollah and its ally want a decisive say in government to block key decisions such as approving the tribunal.
Who would have thought...man I am just amazed....who would have thought?
