Lebanon's national unity government has collapsed after Hezbollah ministers and their allies resigned over a UN-backed tribunal investigating the assassination of former prime minister Rafik Hariri.
The state-run National News Agency of Lebanon announced that 11 ministers stepped down from the 30-member cabinet headed by Saad al-Hariri, the slain prime minister's son. Hezbollah needed the backing of more than a third of the ministers to bring down the government.
