Lebanon admits it okayed arms transfer to Hezbollah
http://feeds.bignewsnetwork.com/redir.php?jid=ba70f32169aa3851&cat=c08dd24cec417021


The Lebanese government publicly admitted recently, for the first time, that it had permitted the delivery of a convoy of arms from Syria to Hezbollah. The United Nations responded by issuing a condemnation.

According to Lebanese sources, Lebanese soldiers halted a convoy of arms-laden trucks from Syria at an army checkpoint in the Lebanon Valley on January 31. However, the Lebanese Defense Ministry ordered the soldiers to allow the convoy to proceed.

A report on this incident then reached the UN's special envoy to the Middle East, Terje Larsen, in New York, and Larsen instructed his staff to investigate. Eventually, the Lebanese government admitted both that it had allowed the convoy to pass, and that the arms had been destined for Hezbollah.

1. What do you mean, "now"?...
And it's more important why the government let this through, than the fact it did.

If Hezbollah has real weapons why do they

The main thrust of this propaganda:

4. Distressing news.
With all the talk of the US destabilizing the ME, seems some in the ME are doing a pretty good job all by themselves.
