Interior Minister Ziad Baroud called the Central Security Council to hold an emergency meeting on Saturday evening to discuss recent security measures in light of repetitive security events in the country over the past few days.
In an interview with al-Manar TV on Friday, Baroud said: "recent incidents are all connected to the election campaign, all this is happening by those who wish to maintain instability."
"No political force can afford to tolerate breaching the Doha agreement, in terms of using its arms and derailing the elections," Baroud said.
He added that he is studying with Defense Minister Elias Murr a plan that would require the availability of 30,000 security elements. Baroud said that this force is ready.
Over the past few days a number of security incidents erupted in Lebanon that included throwing a grenade on the Lebanese Forces bureau in Kfour-Keserwan, and the discovery of two hand grenades outside the Phalange bureau in Dbayeh.
