U.S.: Syria and Iran Violating UN Arms Embargo in Lebanon
[AP/Washington Post] Edith M. Lederer - U.S. Ambassador John Bolton accused Syria and Iran on Monday of trying to destabilize Lebanon's democratically elected government by violating a UN arms embargo. Terje Roed-Larsen, the top UN envoy for Syria-Lebanon issues, said representatives of the Lebanese government "have stated publicly and also in conversations with us that there has been arms coming across the border into Lebanon." Roed-Larsen also said there had been 14 assassinations and assassination attempts in Lebanon since the February 2005 killing of former prime minister Rafik Hariri in Beirut.
