Indonesians on their way to Lebanon - or are they?

The first Indonesian troops left Wednesday for Lebanon to join a UN peacekeeping force.
Indonesia's contingent had been scheduled to head to Lebanon in early October but the departure was delayed on several occasions because of logistical difficulties. The departure of 125 troops was then delayed until October 10, while the departure of the main body of 850 troops was delayed until October 24.
Once again, none of the troops showed up at the two designated dates.

The last delay was on Sunday, when some 30 Indonesian troops were expected to arrive in Beirut but did not.
