iloubnan - Al Jumhuriya: US told Taha Mikati STL is "untouchable" - March 07, 2011

Lebanese daily 'Al Jumhuriya' reported on Monday that contacts between Premier Designate Najib Mikati's brother Taha, with the US democrat and republic congressmen have ended to one conclusion: the US is highly committed to the Special Tribunal for Lebanon (STL) and believes that a one-color cabinet in Lebanon could hamper the country's relations with the international community; thus, lead to a boycott.

Prime Minister Designate Najib Mikati was appointed for premiership after Hezbollah and its allies toppled Saad Hariri cabinet on January 12.

Mikati has tried to cooperate with all political parties to form a national salvation cabinet; however, March 14 coalition has refused to take part in a Hezbollah backed cabinet and legitimize the March 8 camp's coup.

March 14 coalition has called for a massive rally to take place on March 13 to voice support to the STL and reject non-state weapons.
