UN Repairing Roads for Hizballah
(via LGF)This might be the jawdropper of the day, as todays report from the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon shows that the United Nations is busily repairing damaged roads in Hizballah-controlled areasroads the IAF bombed specifically to impede Hizballah movementright in the middle of the war. (Hat tip: mich-again.)(.pdf file) UNIFIL is still facing serious restrictions in its freedom of movement due to the ongoing hostilities and the extensive destruction of roads and bridges throughout the area of operation. Yesterday, a UNIFIL engineering contingent from China managed to do some repairs on a key road artery between Tyre and Naqoura, and the road is now usable for traffic. However, more road destruction was reported in various areas in the south. I have long suspected that UNIFIL has been providing Hezbollah with all sorts of combat support and combat service support. Much, like road repair, they would claim is "dual-use" for both UNIFIL and Hezbollah, so it's not their fault if they "aid" a belligerent. This is no defense. Posted by: Anonymoose 2006-07-27 |
