BEIRUT, April 11 (Xinhuanet) -- A new Lebanese government lineup was agreed upon after President Emile Lahoud met Prime Minister Omar Karami and Parliament Speaker Nabih Berry on Monday, official Lebanese sources said.

    The cabinet whose formation was delayed by disagreements over an electoral law and key cabinet portfolios, will comprise 30 ministers, most of them pro-Syrian, the sources said. An announcement was expected shortly afterwards, the sources added.

    The lineup has been kept in limbo for a month after caretaker premier Karami's first efforts to form a national unity government failed last month due to opposition refusal to take part. The delay of the cabinet installation raised the spectre of delayed parliamentary elections in May, in which the opposition expected to put up a strong showing.

    Political crisis has been running deep in Lebanon since the Feb.14 assassination of former premier Rafiq al-Hariri, for which the opposition blamed Syria and its Lebanese allies, a charge both governments denied.

    Under mounting international pressure and mass anti-Syrian protests in Beirut, Syria began to pull out from Lebanon its 14,000 troops from early March and pledged to complete a full withdrawal by April 30. Enditem
