US Warship Sails Towards Lebanon
March 3, 2008
The United States has ordered a warship to take up position off the coast of Lebanon in a show of support for the country’s embattled government.
The deployment of the USS Cole is being seen as a warning to Syria which - along with Iran - backs the opposition.
The Western-backed government and the opposition have repeatedly failed to agree a deal to end political impasse.
A US official quoted by news agencies said the move was “a show of support for regional stability”.
“We are very concerned about the situation in Lebanon. It has dragged on very long,” the unnamed senior US official told Reuters news agency.
A US defence official quoted by Reuters said the USS Cole, a guided-missile destroyer, had left Malta on Tuesday and was heading toward Lebanon.
