| Blind leading the blind... Israeli Air raid kills U.N. observers An Israeli airstrike has hit a United Nations post in southern Lebanon, killing at least two of the agency's observers, according to the U.N. Interim Force in Lebanon. Two other observers are missing. U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan said he was "deeply distressed" by the "apparently deliberate" strike, a comment that angers Israel's U.S. envoy. "This coordinated artillery and aerial attack on a long-established and clearly marked U.N. post at Khiyam occurred despite personal assurances given to me by Prime Minister Ehud Olmert that U.N. positions would be spared Israeli fire," he said in a statement. "Furthermore, General Alain Pelligrini, the U.N. force commander in south Lebanon, had been in repeated contact with Israeli officers throughout the day on Tuesday, stressing the need to protect that particular U.N. position from attack." |
| Reading between the lines: Israel's U.N. ambassador, Dan Gillerman, said he, too, was "deeply distressed" that Annan alleged that the strike was deliberate. "I am surprised at these premature and erroneous assertions made by the secretary-general, who while demanding an investigation, has already issued its conclusions," Gillerman said in a statement. The IDF said it was looking into the report, which came as U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice proposed an ambitious plan in which international military forces would help the Lebanese government stabilize southern Lebanon, Lebanese political sources said. When they say 'ambitious', that's a clue as to their confidence in the plan's potential for success. |
