Lebanon tries to assure US after military aid halt
None
A senior government official says Lebanon is contacting the US government to provide assurances that American weapons supplied to the Lebanese army are not falling into the "wrong hands."
The chairman of the US House Foreign Affairs Committee said Monday he placed a hold on $100 million in assistance to the Lebanese Armed Forces over concerns that the Iranian-backed militant group Hezbollah may have influence over the army. (AP)
