UN "Concerned" by Lebanese Protests Against Peacekeepers
(AFP) Michael Williams, the UN special coordinator for Lebanon, on Thursday expressed concern over protests by villagers against UN peacekeeping troops deployed in southern Lebanon. Protestors pelted stones at UNIFIL vehicles, slightly wounding a peacekeeper in Khirbit Silm, 11 miles from the border. "Some of these (protests)...were clearly organized," Williams said, singling out one incident that he said involved around 100 people.
