Lebanon stops weapons from entering Syria, sources say
None
Lebanese border police detained two people trying to drive cars filled with weapons into Syria, where mass protests have been challenging President Bashar al-Assad's rule, security sources said on Thursday.
"The cars had AK-47s, semi-automatic weapons, and some bombs," one security source said. The men, a Lebanese and Syrian, were detained late on Wednesday in the border area of the eastern Bekaa Valley. Syrian authorities blame "armed groups" and "infiltrators" for provoking the unrest which started in the south of the country nearly a month ago before spreading. (Reuters)
