Hezbollah fighters in Beirut melt away

Hezbollah gunmen melted off the streets of Beirut Saturday, heeding an army call to pull the fighters out after the Shiite militants demonstrated their military might in a power struggle with the U.S.-backed government.

Prime Minister Fuad Saniora . . . made a key concession to the Hezbollah-led opposition that would effectively shelve the two government decisions that sparked the fighting.
