Lebanon's Syrian-backed security chiefs were urged to resign by the country's opposition.
An international probe into the killing of former Prime Minister Rafik al-Hariri is the goal.
"It is not possible to carry out a just, serious, clear and transparent investigation if the heads of the agencies remain in their place," said Druze chieftain Walid Jumblatt. "We warned against a security state over and over."
A Reuters article says:
"A U.N. fact-finding team said in a report released on Thursday that Lebanon's own inquiry into Hariri's Feb. 14 killing was seriously flawed and called for an international investigation, long a demand of the opposition that holds Damascus and the security services it backs responsible.
But the report said even an international inquiry was unlikely to carry out its tasks satisfactorily while the Lebanese security chiefs stayed."
Syria has denied any involvement in the assassination of Hariri.
