The United Nations has detailed the shipment of rockets from Syria to the Iranian-sponsored Hizbullah in Lebanon. UN special envoy Terje Roed-Larsen has completed a report for secretary-general Kofi Annan that detailed Iranian and Syrian military support for Hizbullah. The semi-annual report, relayed to a panel of 15 member-states in late April, said rockets and other weapons have reached Hizbullah despite the Syrian withdrawal from Lebanon a year ago. "There has not yet been any noticeable change in the operational status and capabilities of Hizbullah," the report said.
The UN has urged Hizbullah to surrender its weapons or integrate in the Lebanese Army. So far, Hizbullah has rejected both options. |
