For the second day in a row, Syria said it had fired on a U.S. surveillance flight over Syrian forces holding the northern half of Lebanon.
In Washington, a Pentagon spokesman said he was unaware of U.S. planes in Lebanon encountering ground fire Saturday or yesterday. F-14 reconnaissance flights have been fired on three times since they began Sept. 7.

Gemayel is to have an audience with Pope John Paul, who has repeatedly called for Lebanese reconciliation, and a group of 1,300 peace-keeping troops in Lebanon.
IN MID-AFTERNOON, shells shammed into Hadad, southwest of Beirut near the U.S. Marines based at Beirut Airport, Beirut radio reported. Four Lebanese reportedly were wounded by a shell.
The continued Syrian reports of tiring at U.S. jets underscored Gemaily's larger problem of getting a compromise from the United States, Israel and Syria on the presence of foreign troops in Lebanon.
