LEBANESE FORCES HESITATE AGAINST HIZBULLAH NICOSIA [MENL] -- Lebanese security forces have been slow in confronting Hizbullah's efforts to paralyze the country. Officials acknowledged that Lebanese Army troops and security forces responded inadequately to Hizbullah's latest anti-government campaign. They said Lebanese troops, many of them Shi'ites, ignored orders to prevent Hizbullah from blocking roads and services. "There was either collusion [between Hizbullah and the security forces], dawdling or unclear decisions," Lebanese Tourism Minister Joe Sarkis said. The assessment came amid rising violence between anti- and pro-government factions in Lebanon. On Wednesday, dozens of people were injured in gun battles in Tripoli, Lebanon 's second largest city. Witnesses said Lebanese security forces failed to maintain order. +++ -------------------------- Want to discuss this topic?
