#2 They might just as well come out and say. "As it appears that neither the US nor Israel can be held responsible for this reprehensible act, the UN is powerless to respond. Should any evidence implicating these regimes come to light we will certainly follow up."

#3 In other news from Lebanon:

Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Seniora has refused to accept the resignations of five pro-Syrian ministers after a week of meetings aimed at giving them more of a say in the government collapsed. The ministers who tendered their resignations are members of the allied Shi'ite movements, Amal and Hezbollah. The talks broke down over Hezbollah's demand that the pro-Syrian parties be given enough cabinet posts to allow them to block legislation. This was rejected by the anti-Syrian majority in the Lebanese parliament. The talks broke down just two days before the cabinet was scheduled to discuss a draft UN document on setting up a tribunal to deal with last year's assassination of former Prime Minister Rafik al-Hariri.
