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.
