Druze leader Walid Jumblat has decided to make a quick tour of Shweifat, Aley and Baisour on Friday to "pacify" the mountains and express condolences to the family of victims in the latest violence that broke out May 17 and left at least 65 people killed and 200 wounded. Jumblat began his tour with a visit to rival, former cabinet minister Talal Arslan at his mansion in Khalde, south of Beirut. After the meeting Jumblat told a joint news conference with Arslan that "we will not benefit from (using) arms." "Khalde is our home and Mukhtara is home for Emir Talal Arslan," Jumblat said. "Together we assert that coexistence (is possible) with our Shiite brethren in the mountains," he added. Arslan, for his part, thanked Jumblat for authorizing him to negotiate on his behalf during last week's fighting. "The mountains will always embrace the resistance," Arslan stressed.
