Lebanon Creates Commission on Armed Palestinians
(AFP/Yahoo) The Lebanese government formed a commission to deal with the issue of armed Palestinians. "The government has unanimously approved the position of Prime Minister Fouad Siniora, who has rejected all Palestinian armed presence outside refugee camps," said Information Minister Ghazi Aridi. The Lebanese government has been increasing its efforts to end the armed presence of pro-Syrian Palestinian groups no longer protected by the Syrian military after its departure from Lebanon in April.
