U.S. says missiles to Hezbollah put Lebanon at "significant risk"

Lebanon would be put at " significant risk" if Syria transferred Scud missiles to Hezbollah, the U.S. State Department said on Wednesday, Xinhua reported.
   "We are concerned about it. If such an action has been taken ... it would represent a failure by the parties in the region to honor UN Security Council Resolution 1701. And clearly it potentially puts Lebanon at significant risk," State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said.
   U.S. has raised the issue with Syrian ambassador in Washington during a recent meeting, he said.
