Lebanese interim Prime Minister Omar Karami has turned down preconditions from the opposition on the formation of a new government.

After Monday evening talks, Karami told reporters he met with opposition representatives to discuss their demands. He also said further dialogue was on the agenda.

The Lebanese opposition raised three preconditions to Karami on government formation, including an "impartial" transitional government, the resignation of Lebanese intelligence chiefs and an international inquiry into Hariri's killing.

The opposition representatives noted their demands must first be met before they could agree to further dialogue and build trust in the government.
