Head of the Mustaqbal parliamentary bloc Fouad Saniora urged religious and political figures to take an initiative and stop Hizbullah from sliding into the armed conflict fanning out in Syria, the state-run National News Agency said Wednesday.

The March 14 General Secretariat hoped on Wednesday that the Special Tribunal for Lebanon would handle the 2005 assassination of MP Gebran Tueni in hope that it would reach the truth behind his murder.
