Wazzan denies reported Lebanon disarm plan stance
Acting Prime Minister Shafik Wazzan rebutted a state radio report that he and Arafat agreed yesterday on a Lebanon plan. The plan allegedly disarmed guerrillas, evacuated 7,500 to an undisclosed Arab country, split remaining forces, and kept two battalions in Lebanon as Israeli and Syrian troops left. Wazzan said no agreement exists and that talks are only halfway. Israel demands a full PLO pullout from Lebanon and Shamir reiterated the need for guerrillas to move far from Israel. No settlement details reached Israel in the past day.
