Lebanon

Day 9: Lebanese President Emile Lahoud vows that the demonstrations will not spark a sectarian war. Escalation is expected on Sunday. The Lebanese Army denied that PM Siniora had ordered confiscation of weapons transported to the resistance in southern Lebanon, as Nasrallah asserted yesterday. Siniora has accused Nasrallah of plotting a coup.
