- NEW: At least another 37 people were killed amid fighting in Syria, opposition groups say
- Lebanese PM Mikati is staying in power, despite his offer to resign
- Mikati is backed by Hezbollah
- Blame over Lebanese intel chief's death is largely aimed at Syrian regime
Beirut (CNN) -- A day after the most high-profile assassination in Lebanon in more than seven years, accusations over who's responsible homed in on the Syrian regime of Bashar al-Assad.
Prime Minister Najib Mikati, a Hezbollah-backed billionaire who is thought to be linked to both Syria and Iran, announced Saturday that he plans to stay in power, despite having offered his resignation to appease those who claimed al-Assad was behind Friday's car bombing that killed Lebanon's intelligence chief, Brig. Gen Wissam al-Hassan.
"To hold me personally responsible for the assassination is unfair," he told reporters. "I have always respected and admired al-Hassan, who has done great things for Lebanon."
Mikati's decision to stay heads off a power vacuum in Lebanon's coalition government, which remains rife with sectarian tensions particularly as the effects of Syria's 19-month civil war spill across borders and threaten the broader region.
Lebanese men block a road leading to the airport in Beirut to protest against the assassination of top intelligence official Wissam al-Hassan in a blast on Friday, October 19. A car bomb blast in central Beirut killed the top security official linked to the anti-Damascus camp in Lebanon, where leaders pointed a finger of blame at Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

Beirut car bomb: Suspects at-large still The senior Lebanese security official and at least nine others died in the explosion in the typically peaceful and cosmopolitan Ashrafiyeh district of East Beirut.
The attack -- in broad daylight, at one of the capital's busiest intersections -- left a crater more than a meter deep and was just the kind of thing al-Hassan had worked to prevent.
But beyond its potential impact on Lebanon's security, al-Hassan's life and death illustrates the deep political and religious fissures within Lebanese society, believed to be exacerbated by its neighbor's unrelentingly internal conflict, where at least another 37 people were killed on Saturday amid fighting that has left tens of thousands dead.
Saad Hariri, a Lebanese opposition leader and former prime minister, told CNN that he had no doubt that the Syrian leader was responsible for Friday's deadly strike.
Hariri accused al-Assad of "killing his own people" and said "he will not think twice" about killing Lebanese in order to protect himself.
"The message from Damascus today is anywhere you are, if you are against the regime from Lebanon, we will come and get you ... No matter what you try to do, we will keep on assassinating the Lebanese," said Hariri, who blames the 2005 assassination of his father, former Prime Minister Rafik Hariri, on the Assad government.
Those accusations were echoed by Walid Jumblatt, a Druze politician and influential power broker in Lebanon's rough-and-tumble political landscape.
Jumblatt told CNN he blames Friday's murder on the Assad government and has expressed concerns over his own safety.
Syrian forces loyal to Assad "can hit you any place anywhere," he said.
"I don't feel safe," he added, talking to CNN in his hillside home outside the capital.
When asked if he thought al-Hassan's killers would be captured, Jumblatt replied: "Sometimes you have justice -- I mean procedural justice according to the rules, and sometimes you have natural justice when one day the killer will be killed. One day the killer will die. You just have to be patient and one day you will see your enemy floating in front of you in the river."
Under Assad, Syria has continued to influence the politics of its smaller neighbor despite withdrawing troops from Lebanon in 2005 following Rafik Hariri's assassination.
Last year, Damascus maneuvered to topple Hariri's son Saad as prime minister by persuading Jumblatt to abandon parliament, which left Hezbollah to play kingmaker in protracted negotiations to form a new government.
Tensions have since boiled over in Lebanon following Friday's attack as enraged citizens blocked road ways and clashes erupted in the port city of Tripoli between supporters and foes of Syria's government.
The Lebanese president declared Saturday a day of national mourning in decrying the "abominable crime" in a statement.
But the prime minister's failure to appear publicly after the explosion elicited criticism, including from one protester in Beirut who said, "This government is killing us by not doing anything. It is not acting like a government. It is like a ghost government."
Related Syrian leader under fire over Beirut bombing - CNN International Issues Question by mskierac82: How do I sale my house "as is"? My mother-in-law needs to sale a house she ownes. At this point the actual house is un-livable. It is really run down and needs a lot of work. The house is on a 1/2 acre in a prime location (located in NM). If we did sale the house we would be selling it more for the property value then the house value. Can a realtor handle something like this (because it wont pass any type of inspection) or would she need to sell it on her own? How can she ensure she is covered legally? Best answer for How do I sale my house "as is"?:

List it on Ebay in As Is condition. You can also list the home through Realtors in As Is condition, but they will still take their big ol chunk. Adam Monforton http://www.learntofliphouses.com
Answer by golferwhoworks
All property is sold as is. The buyer may request up-grades but you do not have to accept any offer that you do not want as the seller. Get a raeltor involved. You know you will get less $ $ $ than the market will bear if it were in better condition.
Answer by tearsofthemoon00
You can write anything you want into a contract.As long as it is signed by the buyer and approved by the lender you should be in good shape.Remember you need to discose any claims you had.There will be a CLUE report run and they will show up.Better to disclose or the contract could be rendered invalid.
Answer by Jen G
If you have a buyer who will purchase this house AS IS thats great......... but ALL banks will require an appraisal on the property before they will finance a loan for purchase.
Answer by Tom M
a realtor can handle, and will probably have better connections with builders and developers, the people most likely to be interested in the house. realtors have to be very well versed in real estate law, so you are probably better covered. she can call in 2 or 3 or more from different companies and have them tell her what they would do to sell it for her. even give her their estimate of price. then she can pick the one with the best approach. check for references. think of the realtor as your "marketing consultant."

Answer by newmexicorealestateforms
I'm a qualifying broker in NM and the answer is yes but only if you provide the potential buyer with the proper disclosures and the proper recommendations for inspections pursuant to our laws. You will also need to provide them with the now mandated forms from the State Engineer's Office and the Environmental Department. In addition any local ordinances relating to use and habitability will also need to be followed. Buena Suerte
