Fourth minister resigns in Lebanon as government staggers

Lebanon’s finance minister has stepped down in the fourth resignation from a government under fire over the deadly port blast that ripped through the capital, a ministry official tells AFP.

The resignation of the minister, Ghazi Wazni, brings the entire government of Prime Minister Hassan Diab closer to collapsing, over the August 4 explosion that has reignited angry street protests.
