UNIFIL finds Hezbollah arms; gunmen scatter peacekeepers

I notice that my prediction about how worthless the UN is at keeping the peace are coming true! Not that anyone doubted it. Did they? I wonder if the UN will aid the terrorists when they start to fire into cities full of civilians again? Or will the UN try to aid the Israelis when they respond to the attacks that the UN is supposed to prevent? Nah! It is definitely the first choice. The UN has failed in almost all aspects. Pity.

UNIFIL finds Hezbollah arms; gunmen scatter peacekeepers - Haaretz - Israel News: "Armed Hezbollah militants warded off members of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) last month when the peacekeepers discovered a truck carrying weapons and ammunition belonging to the Lebanon-based guerilla group.

The incident was referred to briefly in a semi-yearly report submitted to the UN Security Council by UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon. The incident was the first time that UNIFIL forces were confronted by armed Hezbollah men south of Lebanon's Litani River, an area which Security Council resolution 1701 prohibits Hezbollah from entering.

According to a government source in Jerusalem, the incident caused great embarrassment for UNIFIL. The source described the incident, explaining that UNIFIL troops on patrol discovered the truck and chased it down and pulled it over. When the UNIFIL troops approached the vehicle, the source said, armed Hezbollah men exited the truck and threatened the troops at gunpoint. The UNIFIL patrol then went back into their cars, according to the source, and returned to their base."
