BEIRUT (Reuters) -A Lebanese military court will ask Lebanese Forces (LF) party leader Samir Geagea to give a statement about last week's deadly street violence in Beirut, sources with knowledge of the matter told Reuters on Thursday.

Geagea, who was due to appear shortly on a local television show, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
