U.S. Anti-Terrorism Team Visits Lebanon-Syria Border
(AFP) A U.S. anti-terrorism assessment team visited the main Lebanon-Syria border crossing this week, a U.S. embassy official said on Thursday, amid allegations that Damascus was supplying its ally Hizbullah with missiles. The team visited the Masnaa border crossing in the eastern Bekaa region on Wednesday. Hizbullah MP Nawaf Moussawi denounced the visit as an "attempt by the U.S. embassy to impose its hegemony over Lebanon and Lebanon's security, and transform the country into a banana republic under American control."
