| NLP urges Iraqis to unite and choose new government |
| 2003-04-12 |
| The National Liberal Party (NLP) said that it hoped the war in Iraq would be over soon, adding that Iraq should remain united no matter what the form of government selected for that country. In a statement issued by the party, after holding a meeting of its higher council headed by party president Dory Chamoun, the NLP said that it deplored the attacks that targeted journalists and civilians in Iraq. The NLP condemned last weekendâs attack against the McDonaldâs restaurant in Dora and praised the authoritiesâ efforts in finding the network behind the bombing. The NLP called for âhalting the random arrests that the authorities have been carrying out, with the aim of terrorizing, intimidating members of opposition groups and frustrating them enough to leave the country.â Tough, being a western-style liberal in Syrian-occupied Lebanon, isn't it? |
