U.S. Slows Down Military Aid To Lebanon

WASHINGTON [MENL] -- The United States has reduced the pace of military and security assistance to Lebanon, a report said.

A report by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace asserted that Lebanon has received less than half of the original $410 million in U.S. security assistance pledged in 2006. Authored by Palestinian analyst Yezid Sayigh, the report said the U.S. military program has been hampered by lack of Lebanese planning as well as turf battles between the Defense Department and the State Department.
