The government did not want its troops involved in the disarmament of either the militia group or Israeli forces in southern Lebanon, the Jakarta Post daily on Saturday quoted Indonesian Defense Minister Juwono Sudarsono as saying.

"We need to know where our troops will be deployed to. We don'twant to be assigned to disarm Hezbollah because that would be sensitive," the minister told the local press on Friday.

Juwono said the main concern for the peacekeeping forces would be neutralizing the weapons and rocket-launching sites, but this should be done by the Lebanese troops alone.

"We will back them up through the UNIFIL so our troops will notbe directly involved with disarmament on the field ... What matters is to make UNIFIL and the Lebanese military as the only ones with arms, not Israeli troops or Hezbollah. But to be there, Indonesia doesn't want to be the executors," he said.

Meanwhile, Indonesian Foreign Minister Hassan Wirayuda said there was no specific mention of Hezbollah in the UN Resolution 1701, which was enacted for a cease-fire and mandates the re-establishment of security in Lebanon.

"But countries who have responded to the UN's call for a peace-keeping force are asking for detailed jobs there. It's crucial because we don't want to deploy troops for missions that are politically not in accordance with our interests," he added.

The United Nations is currently drawing up the rules of engagement for the peace-keeping force. Indonesia has committed tosending 1,000 troops in UNIFIL. A total of 3,500 new troops from UN members are expected to join the 2,000 UNIFIL troops already inLebanon.
