Lebanon grieves for dead soldier - 05 Sep 07

Al Jazeera's Ayman Mohyeldin reports from a village near Tripoli in northern Lebanon on the family of a soldier who fought and died in the battle with the Fatah al-Islam group at the Nahr al-Bared refugee camp. Their images serve as a reminder of the heavy toll Lebanon paid during this conflict, but they also raise questions about the role of the army in Lebanese society and how well the army is prepared. On Tuesday, Lebanon's defence minister warned against a political stalemate in the run-up to the presidential elections at the end of the month. So as the country turns its attention away from fighting and towards politics once again, some will be watching what role - if any - the military will play.
