wael abou faourLebanon decided to complain to the Arab League over the recent Syrian violations of its territory, caretaker Social Affairs Minister Wael Abu Faour said Monday following a security meeting at the Baabda palace that was headed by Lebanese president Michel Suleiman

His announcement came following a security meeting of senior security officials headed by President Michel Suleiman at Baabda Palace over recent Syrian violations of Lebanon’s territory.

The president who has been very critical of Syria’s violations called for the security meeting at the Presidential Palace which was also attended by caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati , caretaker Foreign Minister Adnan Mansour, Internal Security Forces chief Brig. Gen. Roger Salem, Lebanese Army chief Maj. Gen. Jean Kahwagi, the head of General Security Maj. Gen. Abbas Ibrahim and other senior officials.

At least one person was killed over the weekend as a result of rocket fire from Syria. The attack was condemned by Suleiman who called for an end to the bombardment of Lebanese border areas.

“Such practices have led to the killing of innocent Lebanese that have nothing to do with the conflict raging on the other side of the border,” Suleiman said in a statement.

Several March 14 leaders called on the Lebanese government to file a complaint with the UN and have also called for stationing UN forces along the border with Syria similar to the UNIFIL forces along the borders with Israel

    Again they want soldiers of other countries to guard a border? Right … and how many have paid the ultimate price already for being there trying to help? Right … too many.
    And the Arab League is going to do what to Syria ?? Right.
    You need a big baseball glove to catch a rocket …

      From he start of this conflict the army should have been deployed across the border. A buffer zone should have been set up whether inside lebanon or syria where the refugees are placed to keep it controlled just like turkey and jordan but no lebanon cannot make a decision? Why because certain political groups have their own agenda. Isreal today again has violated lebanons airspace with illegal overflights. the president has condemned it yet i dont hear these other politicians mouthing a word about it. Lets not be in denial as to whats happening…The north has become a staging ground for rebels in syria. What do you expect to happen?

        True Dateam … all true. But we can’t put ‘relatives’ in ‘camps’, can we?
        (Yah .. we could … but then we’d never hear the end of it from the wife … 😉
        As for Israel … they want to keep their eyes on everything anyway, including my naked body on a beach somewhere I guess. I don’t care, so long as they aren’t dropping bombs. There’s a reason for their paranoia – besides being like Americans.
        AND Just imagine how much it costs them for those pictures. 😉 But we know they are not nervous because of the Lebanese Air Force, OR the Lebanese Armed Forces … maybe no-one explained the similar acronyms to them … and we know the SAF has been active lately.
        I assume ‘the south’ will stay safe, however … Israel IS watching. 🙁

    Instead of complaining you chicken shits, why don’t act like a country is supposed to act and authorise the army to do their job.
