BEIRUT- Lebanese police seized Tuesday 25 rocket-propelled grenades in a mountainous area, south-east of Beirut. "The ammunition, which were wrapped in plastic bags, were found by a villager in a field near Aitat," - a mainly Druze village, a police source said.

Police cordoned off the area and confiscated the weapons, the source said.

The main parties in the Druze area are the anti-Syrian government Progressive Socialist Party and the Syrian-backed opposition National Syrian Socialist Party.

In the last few weeks, security forces have seized weapons in various areas of Beirut.

All militias were disarmed in Lebanon after the 1975-1990 civil war ended, except the Iranian-backed Lebanese Shiite movement Hezbollah because it was considered a "resistance group" fighting Israel's forces on Lebanese territories.

Lebanon has been hit by at least 17 deadly terror attacks since 2005, including the blast that killed five-time premier Rafik Hariri on February 14, 2005.
