Hizbullah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on Friday said the proliferation of illegal arms in the country “requires incorporating all weapons within the equation of the army, people, and Resistance,” urging all parties to heed President Michel Suleiman’s call for national dialogue “without preconditions.”

“We will take part in national dialogue without preconditions. If the March 14 camp is truly concerned about the country, then it should head to dialogue without conditions,” Nasrallah said, in a televised address on the occasion of Resistance and Liberation Day.

Lebanese Forces chief Samir Geagea stated on Friday that he “understands” President Michel Suleiman’s call for dialogue “because I am aware of the amount of dangers surrounding Lebanon.”

He said before reporters in Maarab: “The dispute over the government must be resolved before dialogue can he held.”

A blaze erupted on Friday at a bakery equipment factory in the town of Jadra, east of Sidon, gutting a part of the facility and injuring four people.

Civil Defense crews, aided by a number of residents and municipalities, managed to contain the fire, reported state-run National News Agency.

Jubilation turned into anxious waiting in Lebanon on Friday after top officials said eleven Lebanese Shiite pilgrims abducted in Syria have been freed and conflicting reports emerged about the exact timing of their arrival in Beirut and about whether or not they were handed over to Turkish authorities.

According to a statement issue by Prime Minister Najib Miqati’s office, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu informed the premier that the pilgrims are doing well and that they were on their way to Beirut.

Former Prime Minister Fouad Saniora stated on Friday that the current government paved the way for the recent unrest in the country.

He reiterated his demand for the formation of a “neutral salvation government that would help ease the tensions in Lebanon.”

United Nations chief Ban Ki-moon warned that the threat of the conflict in Syria might spill over into Lebanon amid the rise in security incidents in the country.

“We are very much worried about this kind of spillover effect,” Ban reiterated in an interview with CNN on Thursday night.

Prime Minister Najib Miqati praised on Friday Speaker Nabih Berri and Hizbullah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah for their efforts in ensuring the release of the 11 Lebanese pilgrims who were released from captivity in Syria earlier on Friday.

He said in a statement: “We hope this occasion will enable the Lebanese to overcome all obstacles that prevented them from holding dialogue given the goodwill showed by all sides.”

Hizbullah Secretary-General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah is expected to tackle on Friday the latest developments in Lebanon and the region.

He will deliver his speech via video link to mark “Liberation Day” at a rally that will be held in the southern town of Bint Jbeil.

The request of the March 14 forces for the formation of a neutral salvation government during a conference held on Thursday came after three weeks of preparations when the opposition discovered that the Syrian regime is preparing to ignite tension in Lebanon, high-ranking March 14 sources said Friday.

“The preparation for the meeting began around three weeks ago when it became clear that the Syrian regime had decided that the decision of steering Lebanon clear (of the crisis in Syria) was over and that this regime was preparing something for Lebanon,” sources told An Nahar daily.

Prime Minister Najib Miqati said on Friday that the price of his resignation would be consensus among Lebanese on the dialogue table.

“I am ready to do whatever (the officials) agree on during the dialogue,” Miqati told al-Liwaa newspaper.
