CLEAN : A new series of attacks likely in Lebanon

The formation of the Lebanese government is increasingly complex, with moderate Sunni leadership being replaced by extremists. This shift raises the possibility of renewed violence, including assassinations and car bombs, as political factions remain deadlocked. Tensions are particularly high between the March 8 and March 14 groups, with March 14 blaming March 8 and Hezbollah for the instability.
