- Syria's staunchest allies Hizbollah and Amal swept south Lebanon's general elections on Sunday, in a crushing victory seen as a vote for anti-Israeli guerrillas to keep their weapons.
Official results were not due until Monday but the Amal-Hizbollah slate, dubbed the "steamroller," claimed it had taken all 23 seats up for grabs in the south. Unofficial counts indicated the alliance had won more than 80 percent of votes.
