The fate of Tuesday’s national dialogue session remains unknown in light of the March 14 camp’s decision to boycott the talks.

Despite the boycott, President Michel Suleiman is attempting to “obtain positive positions” on resuming the all-party talks, reported the daily An Nahar on Saturday.

Mahmoud Hayek, the suspect in the assassination attempt against MP Butros Hard, refused to appear before the investigative bodies because he is a member of Hizbullah’s security apparatus, according to the lawmaker and some security sources Saturday.

Harb said that a car plate number was found inside the bag carried by the suspect when he tried to booby trap the top of the building elevator of his office in the Sami Solh region. The plate turned out to belong to a Hizbullah member who was called in for questioning, but refused, the An Nahar daily said.

The United States on Wednesday named five Colombia and Venezuela-based men as key players in a sprawling trafficking and money laundering network of alleged Hizbullah-linked Lebanese drug lord Ayman Joumaa.

The U.S. Treasury set sanctions on two Lebanese-born men, Abbas Hussein Harb and Ibrahim Chibli, for helping Joumaa launder what it said were millions of dollars of narcotics-related proceeds.

Israel’s Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman has said that his country is ready for any act of provocation by Hizbullah over the deepening crisis in Syria.

During a meeting on Thursday with 15 U.N. envoys in New York, He expressed concern that Hizbullah will use a provocation against Israel as a means of distracting the world from violence in Syria.

Hizbullah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah is expected to criticize U.N. chief Ban Ki-moon on Saturday after he expressed “deep concern” about the military prowess of the party.

Nasrallah is scheduled to make a televised speech on the occasion of Arbaeen, which marks the end of 40 days of mourning following the anniversary commemorating the killing of Imam Hussein, one of Shiite Islam's most revered figures.

Maronite Patriarch Beshara al-Rahi stressed on Monday the need to establish a democratic civil state in Lebanon that respects all values and stands as an example for the East.

He said before a Hizbullah delegation in Jbeil: “The state must separate between religion and politics … but not separate politics from God.”

President Michel Suleiman is seeking to relaunch the National Dialogue at Baabda Palace to discuss the country’s defense strategy which he sees should be based on “the positive investment of the resistance weapons,” his sources said.

The sources told As Safir daily published Saturday that Suleiman met with the presidential team involved in the all-party talks to discuss what the National Dialogue has achieved and the reasons preventing the implementation of previous decisions particularly the disarmament of Palestinian bases outside the camps.

Hizbullah stressed on Friday that the bombings that took place in Syria will not weaken the resolve of the forces of resistance in the region.

It said in a statement: “The United States and its regional proxies are behind the Damascus bombings.”

Former Prime Minister Saad Hariri stressed on Saturday on the importance of confiscating the “illegal arms,” noting that the Syrian people are getting closer to their “freedom.”

“Weapons should be only with the security forces and the army,” Hariri said in English, answering a question from a Twitter user.

The Foreign Ministry has filed a complaint to the United Nations on Saturday over the Israeli spy device that was discovered in southern Lebanon a few weeks ago, reported the National News Agency.

The device was discovered in the outskirts of the southern towns of Deir Kifa and Srifa.
