Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah promised that his opposition alliance would intensify its campaign to bring down the Lebanese government, pledging to mount an "effective" action in the coming days.

In an interview with his group's Al-Manar television yesterday, Nasrallah said: "I believe this action will be effective, very important and very big."

Hezbollah and its allies have staged street protests and sit-ins, camping outside the prime minister's office since December 1, in a bid to topple the government of Fuad Saniora.

Nasrallah said Hezbollah would never use weapons in its political struggle in Lebanon, repeating that the group's arms were for fighting Israel.
