Lebanese military intelligence has requested that the leader of Lebanon's Christian Lebanese Forces party give a statement about last week’s Beirut violence on Wednesday, a source close to the party said.

Samir Geagea was not present when the written request was sent so it was posted on his door, the source added on Monday.
