A leading member of Lebanon's anti-Syrian parliament majority accused the Hizbullah-led opposition on Tuesday of putting up new obstacles that could hinder the election of army chief for president.
The charge comes just days ahead of a parliament session due Friday to approve Army Commander Gen. Michel Suleiman for the country's top post.
Suleiman is a compromise candidate Lebanon's rival factions managed to agree on, after months of haggling and plunging the country into a political vacuum.
Marwan Hamadeh, the minister of telecommunications, told The Associated Press on Tuesday the obstacles "mainly" come from Gen. Michel Aoun, a Christian opposition leader who until recently himself was a presidential hopeful but later backed the army chief.
