Arab League chief Amr Moussa said Tuesday that some Arab countries had sent weapons to the Lebanese Army to boost its fight against Islamic militants, as world leaders continued to express their support for the government in fighting in North Lebanon. Moussa did not disclose which Arab states had supplied Lebanon with weapons, or the quantity of arms provided.
"But more weapons will be sent, should the need arise," Moussa said.
The League issued a statement condemning the "terrorist acts committed" by Fatah al-Islam, which it said "has nothing to do with Palestinians or Islam." The statement expressed "total support for the efforts exerted by the Lebanese government and Army to assert security and stability."

US officials said Tuesday that Washington may also provide emergency military aid to Siniora. "Right now, we are considering a request for additional assistance coming from the Lebanese government," State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said.
