Syrian Government Says it May Attack Rebels in Lebanon

Wants the Lebanese government to deal with militants it says crossed into northern Lebanon

(Reuters) - Syria has warned it may strike at rebels hiding in neighboring Lebanon if the Lebanese army does not act, the state news agency SANA said on Friday.

Syria's Foreign Ministry told its Lebanese counterpart late on Thursday that a "large number" of militants had crossed Lebanon's northern border into the Syrian town of Tel Kalakh over the past two days, SANA said.
