UN says south Lebanon weapons cache a violation

The UN peacekeeping force in Lebanon said Wednesday ammunition which had exploded in a southern

village was a "serious violation" of the UN-brokered ceasefire that ended a monthlong war between Hezbollah and Israel three years ago.

Lebanese security officials said a series of explosions Tuesday in an abandoned building near Lebanon's tense border with Israel was caused by a fire in a Hezbollah weapons depot. Hezbollah has not commented.  (AP)
