BEIRUT, Nov 22 (Reuters) - Anti-Syrian Druze leader Walid Jumblatt said on Wednesday he expected more assassinations of ministers and members of parliament aimed at undermining the ruling majority.

"We have to expect, and this is my impression unfortunately, more assassinations of ministers and parliamentarians," Jumblatt told a news conference. Lebanese Minister Pierre Gemayel, a member of the ruling bloc, was shot dead on Tuesday.
