US accuses Syria of failing to observe UN resolution

    WASHINGTON, June 10 (Xinhuanet) -- The United States accused Syria on Friday of failing to implement the terms of a United Nations resolution that it withdraws all its forces from Lebanon and accused Damascus of interfering in Lebanese elections.

    "We are deeply concerned about Syria's interference and intimidation inside Lebanon," White House spokesman Scott McClellan told reporters.

    "Syria needs to comply fully with United Nations Council Resolution 1559. That means getting all their intelligence operatives out of Lebanon," McClellan said.

    "We are concerned that those intelligence operatives are interfering in Lebanon's internal affairs.

    "We have all called on the United Nations to send the verification teams back to Lebanon," the spokesman said, adding that UN Secretary General Kofi Annan said he was "looking at this course of action."

    On April 26, Syria informed the United Nations that it had completed the withdrawal of its forces from Lebanon in line with Security Council resolution 1559. Enditem
