BEIRUT, May 14 (Reuters) - Lebanon's U.S.-backed cabinet was on Wednesday expected to cancel two measures it took against Hezbollah and which triggered fighting in which the Iranian-backed movement briefly took over parts of Beirut, political sources said.

"You can say it's a done deal, but we're waiting for the cabinet meeting," one political source said. Prime Minister Fouad Siniora was due to hold a cabinet meeting at 1530 GMT.
