Far fewer people are to be seen in the streets of the Lebanese capital, Beirut, after three bombs hit the country in just over a week.
A weekend bomb in a Christian district of eastern Beirut ruined Easter celebrations.
Eyewitnesses say a fear has returned to the city, with people not wanting to venture onto the streets.
The attacks come after the February assassination of former premier Rafiq Al-Hariri.
It is widely believed by opposition groups and foreign diplomats that Syria ordered his execution.
Al-Hariri resigned at the end of last year and began planning to join up with opposition political forces.
A United Nations team of investigators is calling for a full independent inquiry into Al-Hariri’s death. The U.N. group published its findings over the weekend.
The report expresses dissatisfaction with the Lebanese governmental investigation into the killing. It also says Damascus is responsible for the political instability in Lebanon.
Syria has had a military presence in Lebanon for some 30 years.
Following a meeting with Hizbullah Secretary General Hasan Na’srallah on Sunday, leader of the Lebanese opposition Walid Jumblatt said he will not force the terror organization to disarm. Hizbullah supports the Syrian presence in Lebanon whereas Jumblatt is one of the strongest opponents of this situation.
Jumblatt called for a new start in relations between Lebanon and Syria, which he said are not enemies, but added that Lebanon will not approve of foreign forces on its lands, the London-based A-Sharq Al-Awsat reported.
