French, Italian, Greek naval force patrolling Leb coastline
BEIRUT, Lebanon - Lebanon said on Friday the United Nations had informed it that a joint French, Italian and Greek naval force has begun patrolling the Lebanese coastline, a move that is likely to help end the Israeli sea blockade of Lebanon. A government official, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the media, said the monitoring of the coastline six miles from Lebanese territorial waters began at 12:30 p.m. (0930 GMT) Friday.Posted by: Steve White 2006-09-09 |
