The pro-Assad Arab Democratic Party issued a 48-hour ultimatum to Lebanese authorities to arrest the killers of Abdel-Rahman Diab, the father of a suspect in the August 2013 twin car bombings in Tripoli. Following Diab’s death, clashes erupted in which two people were killed and five wounded; nearly all schools in Tripoli closed for security reasons. The UK renewed its travel advisory for Lebanon, and warned of a “high risk” of attacks by Islamist extremist groups.
