Death in Lebanon stirs push for Hezbollah to quit power

BEIRUT — Lebanon’s main opposition bloc stepped up pressure Wednesday on the Hezbollah-dominated government to resign after blaming the Shi’ite militant group’s ally Syria for a car bomb that killed a top intelligence officer.

The anti-Syrian opposition alliance said Lebanon’s rival groups cannot hold a national dialogue until the government led by Hezbollah and its allies steps down.
