Guerrillas in the Midst
Fox News
Hezbollah guerrillas reportedly are roaming around southern Lebanon unchecked because United Nations troops are not going out on patrols after dark. A German newspaper reports that a Spanish official with the United Nations Interim Force In Lebanon — known as UNIFIL — says no night patrols are carried out "because of the danger involved."
One junior officer said his battalion has left its camp only once since its deployment. And a U.N. envoy admits that Syria is smuggling weapons into Lebanon — in defiance of the truce that ended the Israeli-Hezbollah conflict this summer. But the envoy would not take responsibility for this — saying the Lebanese army has not asked U.N. troops to monitor the border.
