"High level security sources have expressed fear to An Nahar daily about Sunni-Shiite tension that could spark a wave of violence between the two communities.
The sources told the newspaper that disagreement hasn't yet reached red, which is the highest level of alert, but has definitely reached the orange level and above.
An Nahar said such a situation suggests that Beirut is still a sensitive area particularly in its mixed neighborhoods.
The sources said "rearmament imposed itself on Lebanon since June 7 mainly in areas most prone to tension."
About the north and the Bekaa, the sources told An Nahar: "The two regions are no longer areas of possible tension because pro-Mustaqbal Sunni forces regained authority on the ground."
