Saudis urge Bush to seek Lebanon ceasefire - Yahoo! News
"We requested a ceasefire to allow for the cessation of hostilities," Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal told reporters after a meeting of more than an hour with Bush and U.S. Secretary of State
Condoleezza Rice.

Saud also said he brought a letter to Bush from Saudi King Abdullah seeking ways to end the bloodshed in Lebanon. He said the letter called for an immediate ceasefire, the start of a prisoner exchange between Hizbollah and
Israel, and delaying the dismantling of Hizbollah for now.
