NAQOURA, Lebanon (Reuters) - About 50 French peacekeepers arrived in south Lebanon on Saturday, the first reinforcements for a U.N. force charged with helping the Lebanese army take over the area, witnesses said.
France has pledged just 200 army engineers, disappointing the United Nations and the United States, which had hoped Paris would provide the backbone and leadership of the force that is to monitor a truce between Israel and Hizbollah guerillas.
