Lebanon Peacekeepers Met with Skepticism
[Washington Post] Anthony Shadid - A contingent of several bored-looking Italian soldiers in blue berets watched traffic pass within eyeshot of Hizballah's yellow banners. On a recent day, two Italian vehicles took up spots on different sides of the road, watching traffic pass unhindered for hours. Hizballah has insisted that the UN force restrict its mission to such patrols and has bridled at suggestions it would monitor the airport, Lebanon's border with Syria, or routes into the country by sea.
