Gemayel: Al-Qaeda forces in Lebanon
Former Lebanese president Amine Gemayel says al-Qaeda forces have entered the country, making Lebanon vulnerable to 'any possibility'. Gemayel told ANB on Friday that new intelligence has indicated that members of al-Qaeda have entered Lebanon, taking refuge at Ein al-Halveh rfugee camp. "Al-Qaeda has always threatened Lebanon. I hope the Hezbollah leaders are aware of the consequences for the current unrest in the country," the former president added.

He added that the initiative by the Hezbollah Movement to confront the government is in lines with 'the coup' that the opposition has started. "The victory that they think they have achieved is only a trap," Gemayel said.

The Lebanese politician added that the clashes in Beirut and the presence of military forces will not influence the political parties. Gemayel also voiced his support for March 14 leader Saad Hariri's decision to revamp government organization in a bid to defuse the crisis in the country. He warned that if Hezbollah sought to undermine Lebanese army's authority, the country would be vulnerable to 'any possibility'.

Fierce clashes have erupted between supporters of rival political camps after Siniora's government outlawed a communications network used by Hezbollah and sacked Beirut Airport's security chief on Tuesday.
