Salam Tackles Security Situation with Suleiman
President Michel Suleiman discussed on Monday with Prime Minister Tammam Salam at the Baabda Palace the general security situation, the state-run National News Agency reported.
According to NNA, the two officials tackled the recent local developments, in particular, the security situation.
Lebanon has been the scene of security incidents since the war in Syria erupted three years ago, in particular, in the northern city of Tripoli and along the Lebanese-Syrian border.
The country has witnessed several attacks claimed by radical Sunni groups.
The news agency also reported that the agenda of Thursday's cabinet session at the Baabda Palace was discussed.
The agenda of the session includes 76 articles.
Salam left the Baabda Palace without making any statement.
The premier's government garnered the support of 96 out of 101 lawmakers who attended last week's parliamentary vote.
Salam's 24-person Cabinet includes members of March 8 and 14 coalitions. Following more than 10 months of political wrangling, Salam cobbled together his government in February after bridging a political divide among the political forces.
