Mideast talks collapse, fail to reach cease-fire agreement
Talks between key Middle East players in Rome on a plan for ending the 15-day-old conflict in Lebanon today failed to reach agreement on an immediate cease-fire.
The stormy meeting, which saw the United States pitted against European and Arab leaders, resulted in calls for a truce but little concrete action to end the fighting that has claimed more than 300 civilian lives.
Turning the heat up on Israel is a report by a UN probe that states that UN peacekeepers in south Lebanon contacted Israeli troops 10 times before an Israeli bomb killed four of them. The post was hit by a precision-guided missile after six hours of shelling.
