Lebanon's powerful Hezbollah group endorsed Monday a presidential candidate, in a move unlikely to resolve a deadlock that has left the crisis-hit country for months without a head of state."The candidate we support. is Sleiman Frangieh," Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah said during a televised speech.The Iran-backed Shiite movement holds huge sway over political life in Lebanon, but opposition from the country's two main Christian parties means pro-Syrian Frangieh lacks a clear path to majority backing in the divided parliament.
