PRESS REVIEW – Monday, October 12: Widespread protests in India are met with detentions judged "illegal" by the country's Supreme Court. But first: Lebanese papers report as Hezbollah prepares for a new regional flare-up. Finally, Citroën hopes to win hearts and minds with an electric reboot of the vintage Deux Chevaux model.
The Arabic-language daily An-Nahar in Lebanon reports on revived calls for the disarmament of Hezbollah after nearly half a tonne of explosives were found in a vehicle heading towards Beirut, whose drivers are suspected of belonging to the armed group. Al Joumhouria has images of the explosives on its front page, and suggests on the inside pages that the presence of shrapnel corresponds with the kind of material the group have previously used in assassinations.
