Lebanon asked for help and they’re getting it:
Lebanese forces battling Islamic militants inside Lebanon will be resupplied by a shipment of U.S. military ammunition, which is expected to arrive within two days, senior U.S. officials told CNN’s Barbara Starr on Thursday.
In the meantime, both sides flatly rejected calls to surrender.
A statement attributed to Fatah al-Islam was sent Thursday to several media outlets in Lebanon, saying the militant group intends ” to blow up several crusaders’ universities and schools tomorrow in the event the Lebanese army does not surrender.” Crusaders usually refers to Americans or Westerners.
Responding to Lebanon’s call for immediate military assistance, the U.S. military will send as many as six cargo flights carrying ammunition to Lebanon, the officials said.
One senior U.S. military official said it is rare to send military flights on such a mission, considering the sensitive nature of the United States’ role in the Middle East. But the Bush administration decided it could not wait to charter commercial cargo planes for the resupply mission, the official said.
Hopefully, there’s some assistance on the intel front as well.
