Lebanese state news agency says PM to resign

BEIRUT (AP) ? Lebanon's state news agency says Prime Minister Najib Mikati will announce his resignation.

The National News Agency said late Friday that Mikati would soon give a speech announcing his decision, but gave no further details.

Lebanese media have speculated that Mikati would quit his post due to a parliamentary impasse over the extension of the tenure of Lebanon's police chief, Maj. Gen. Ashraf Rifi.

Shiite militant group Hezbollah, which dominates the parliament, considers Rifi a foe and has said it won't support the extension.

Mikati's resignation would need to be accepted by President Michel Suleiman before it becomes official.
