BEIRUT (Reuters) - A defiant Hizbollah leader challengedthe United States Thursday to send troops to Lebanon to carry out its call to disarm the Shi'ite Muslim guerrilla group.

"We tell America and all those who want to disarm the resistance in Lebanon and the resistance in Palestine to safe guard Israel: ... This is forbidden. It is not possible,"Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah told a rally in Beirut.

"What is left for them is that the Americans come themselves to disarm the resistance and the (Palestinian refugee) camps in Lebanon. I wish they would come, I wish they would come," he said to applause.

Washington lists Hizbollah as a "terrorist group" and has called for it to lay down its arms. A U.S.-backed U.N. Security Council resolution calls for the disarming of Hizbollah and Palestinian groups in refugee camps in Lebanon.
