He said any remaining Americans who wished to flee should do so immediately. "We are now in the latter stages of transporting Americans who wish to depart Lebanon. We believe most Americans have done so." The U.S. State Department said late Saturday that more than 10,000 of the estimated 25,000 Americans in Lebanon have fled since July 16.
