UN calls for Lebanon peace force

BBC

UN Secretary General Kofi Annan and UK Prime Minister Tony Blair have called for an international force to be sent to Lebanon to stop attacks on Israel.
Mr Blair said the force could "stop the bombardment coming over into Israel and therefore gives Israel a reason to stop its attacks on Hezbollah".

Israel launched its offensive last week following the capture of two of its soldiers by Lebanese guerrillas.

Hezbollah has been firing hundreds of missiles into northern Israel.
