Lebanon Seizes Hezbollah Arms
 The Lebanese Army has seized weapons belonging to Hezbollah in south Lebanon, Prime Minister Fuad Siniora was quoted as saying in a French newspaper yesterday. The army has been seizing certain weapons, that is confirmed, Siniora told a group of four journalists, including Le Mondes correspondent, accompanying UN Secretary General Kofi Annan to Beirut. There have been interceptions, but our policy is not to make announcements on such matters, he said, adding that the seizures involved heavy weapons.We are not the enemies of Hezbollah, he said, but we will tolerate no armed presence, either carrying weapons or wearing uniforms. He said: No area will be off limits to the army. He vowed that Lebanese forces would confiscate any weapons that it finds. That is already what is happening in a firm but friendly way.
