Lebanese leftists accept 10 day civil war cease-fire
Under pressure from Syria and the international community Lebanon's leftist leaders agree to a 10 day truce set for Friday noon. They warn peace hinges on the resignation of Maronite President Suleiman Franjieh and secularizing the state. Kamal Jumblatt says the truce is a trial to allow Franjieh to sign and parliament to elect a successor. Franjieh has resisted calls to quit and recently fled Baabda Palace after shelling by leftist forces.
