The international community was closely monitoring the situation in Lebanon after deadly clashes between opposition and pro-government supporters turned Beirut into a war zone. The French foreign ministry said it was monitoring the situation out of concern for French nationals, while the United Arab Emirates began evacuating its nationals from Beirut on Thursday. "Some Emirati nationals in Beirut have been evacuated to ensure their security," UAE Ambassador Mohammed Sultan al-Suweidi was quoted as saying by the official Wam news agency. The report said the evacuees had been flown to Damascus, but gave no details about the number of people involved. Canadian Foreign Minister Maxime Bernier placed the blame squarely on Hizbullah and said the situation was being closely monitored by Canadian authorities who were in contact with nationals in Lebanon. "Canada strongly condemns the actions of Hizbullah to incite violence and to shut down the international airport in Beirut. These actions serve only to inflame sectarian divisions. Hizbullah and its supporters must not be allowed to pull Lebanon toward war," Bernier said.(AFP-Naharnet)
