Two days until the UN report on the Hariri investigation is handed to Kofi Annan. We are hearing rumors of warnings about going out at night this week and about a possible curfew on Friday, but so far the government seems to be saying that it will be business as usual. No chance of guidance from our embassy. We are on the Warden’s list, but they don’t tend to send us anything. According to the embassy website, the last Warden’s message was sent out in February, right after Hariri was killed, but I have heard from people on the list that they never received such an email.

Anyhow, people seem to be gearing up for Friday, but it seems unlikely that we will hear any details about the report then- the UN Security Council won’t review it until next week.

UPDATE: Some news sources are now saying that Annan will get the report Thursday (now today) and that the Security Council and Lebanese government will have it Friday.
