The Lebanese authorities have posted an arrest warrant for Gen. Michel Aoun at airports, seaports and border checkpoints, prompting the exiled opposition leader to suggest that Syrian-controlled regimes in Beirut would not be in existence by the next general elections in mid-2005.
The absentia arrest warrant legally means that Gen. Aoun, who was banished to France for five years as of February 1991 would not be henceforth able to return to Lebanon except under arrest, An Nahar reported Saturday.
