A Muslim man prays as members of Lebanon's Hezbollah-led opposition remove a protest encampment from central Beirut May 21, 2008. Rival Lebanese leaders signed a deal on Wednesday to end 18 months of political conflict, pulling their country away from the brink of civil war and paving the way for the election of a new president. The tents were erected in December 2006 as part of the opposition's campaign against the Western-backed government of Prime Minister Fouad Siniora.[Agencies]
