The Lebanese navy have intercepted a ship with three containers full of weapons and ammunition intended to supply Syrian rebels. The vessel was stopped off the Lebanese port of Tripoli. Jim Muir is in Beirut.

黎巴嫩海军截获了一艘准备给叙利亚叛军运送物资的船只，三个集装箱里全是武器和弹药。这艘船是在的黎波里的黎巴嫩海港被叫停的。Jim Muir在贝鲁特报道。

The ship, the Lutfullah II, is reported to have begun its voyage from Libya, stopped off in Alexandria in Egypt and then headed for the port of Tripoli in northern Lebanon. But it was intercepted and diverted by the Lebanese navy. It found and confiscated three containers full of arms and ammunition. It's believed the consignment was destined for the rebels in Syria, with whom the new Libyan regime strongly sympathises. Tripoli in north Lebanon is a hotbed of support for the Syrian opposition, and the authorities in Damascus have frequently complained about arms being smuggled from that area into the country.
