(IsraelNN.com) Lebanese Druze leader Walid Jumblatt charged Wednesday that Syria was behind the assassination of an anti-Syrian minister Tuesday and warned that more killings may be on the horizon in order to bring down the government. The recent resignation of six pro-Syrian ministers, including two Hizbullah terrorist party members, has left the Cabinet with only six more seats than necessary for a quorum.

"We have to expect, and this is my impression unfortunately, more assassinations of ministers and parliamentarians," Jumblatt told reporters after the killing of Minister Pierre Gemayel. Huge protests are expected Wednesday at the funeral for the anti-Syrian leader, who was the grandson of the founder of the Christian Phalange party.
