Lebanon president declares Hariri caretaker PM

Lebanese President Michel Suleiman asked Prime Minister Saad Hariri on Thursday to remain as head of a caretaker administration after the collapse of his 'national unity' government, the national news agency said.
The announcement came a day after Hezbollah ministers and their cabinet allies resigned from Hariri's government over disagreements about a U.N.-backed tribunal investigating the 2005 killing of Hariri's father, Rafik, that is expected to implicate members of Hezbollah, according to press report.
