Lebanon: The ministers of the Lebanese forces will miss the cabinet meeting tomorrow because of the shipment of explosives. Sources in the Lebanese forces said that the party's participation in the government meetings is conditional on raising the issue of the shipment of explosives and referring it to the judicial council. Diplomatic sources said Washington wants greater involvement in the Lebanese case without field or military intervention, with any progress contingent on steps taken by the Lebanese government. The same sources said that Lebanon received serious warnings that Hezbollah's entry into the war would be met with a very violent Israeli response.
