Jumblat Cancels Press Conference, No Reasons Stated

Progressive Socialist Party leader Walid Jumblat scrapped a press conference he was scheduled to hold in Clemenceau at noon Tuesday, the party's media office said.

It did not give the reasons behind the cancellation.

The media office said Monday that Jumblat would hold a conference rather than writing his weekly editorial in al-Anbaa weekly.

Jumblat had told Hizbullah's al-Manar TV that he would tackle the Saudi-Syrian mediation and other regional issues.
