Lebanon's Jumblatt says to attend reconciliation meeting

BEIRUT (Reuters) - Lebanese Druze leader Walid Jumblatt said in a text message he would attend a reconciliation meeting on Friday with another Druze politician, Talal Arslan, and Lebanon's top political leadership.

The dispute between Jumblatt and Arslan's political parties has paralysed the Lebanese government since a shooting incident at the end of June and their reconciliation would pave the way for a cabinet meeting, though a session has yet to be scheduled.
