BEIRUT, May 14 (Reuters) - Lebanon's U.S.-backed cabinet on Wednesday cancelled two measures it took against Hezbollah, which triggered the worst internal fighting in the country since the 1975-90 civil war.

The government of Prime Minister Fouad Siniora said in a statement after a meeting that it was taking the step to preserve civil peace and facilitate an Arab League mediation effort to end Lebanon's 18-month-old political crisis. (Reporting by Nadim Ladki; Editing by Giles Elgood)
