Caretaker Interior Minister Nouhad al-Mashnouq declared Thursday that the extraordinary measures will be implemented starting Friday in Beirut in order to facilitate traffic during the holiday season.
Following a meeting held by the Central Security Council, al-Mashnouq explained that all the necessary security measures will be adopted so as to prevent any security action against places of worship, in cooperation between the Army and the Internal Security Forces, and in coordination with the General Security when necessary, adding that this experience has proved successful in the past years.
On the cabinet issue, he noted that all the parties made concessions, stressing that the result is the most important thing.
