Lebanon’s outgoing President Emile Lahoud asked the army to take control of the country’s security on Friday, after rival leaders failed to agree on his successor, creating a vacuum in the presidency from midnight.
Lahoud said in a statement read on his behalf that “the dangers of a state of emergency” existed and entrusted “the army with the authority to maintain security”.
Lahoud considers the government of Prime Minister Fouad Siniora as illegitimate.reuters
