[Q] - The March 14 alliance clinched around 70 out of 128 seats,
maintaining its majority in parliament after defeating the Hizbullah-
led alliance in Sunday's crucial elections.
Celebrations broke out in several cities as television stations
began airing preliminary results.The opposition confirmed defeat.
"We have lost the election," said a senior politician close to the
March 8 alliance. "We accept the result as the will of the
people" [translation; next time we'll have to murder more Christians].
