Lebanese ministers forced to quit-Mr Karami denies any involvement in the attack on Mr Hariri
"Huge celebrations have erupted in Beirut after the Lebanese government announced its resignation following two weeks of popular protests. Tens of thousands of people waved Lebanese flags and demanded that Syria remove its troops from the country. Prime Minister Omar Karami announced the resignation two weeks after the murder of his predecessor Rafik Hariri. The US hailed it as an "opportunity" for Lebanon, calling for fair elections free of Syrian influence....
The immediate reaction from Syria, which backs the Lebanese government, was non-committal, saying only that it was "an internal affair" for Lebanon. However, a BBC correspondent in Damascus says the Syrian authorities must be worried the situation in Lebanon is spiralling out of their control and might result in a new government demanding the immediate withdrawal of Syria's estimated 15,000 troops in the country."
