Lebanon and its friends around the world are on edge waiting for indictments to be issued related to the assassination of Prime Minister Rafiq al Hariri. The investigators working on this case are apparently nearing the completion of their inquiry and are preparing to submit their findings to the international tribunal -- possibly within a matter of days.
Based on what are claimed to be "leaks", there have been suggestions that the indictments will charge members of Hezbollah in the crime. In response, there has been a flurry of diplomatic activity in an effort to calm tensions, while Hezbollah, for its part, has paralyzed the work of the government and issued vague, and not so vague, threats saying that they will not allow any of their cadres to be charged. This has roiled the country with many fearing a return to civil strife or worse.
