| [An Nahar] Five Syrian shells landed near a Lebanese border town in the northeast on Wednesday, two days after Syrian air strikes along the border area, the state-run National News Agency reported. NNA said the shells landed on the outskirts of the town of al-Qasr in Hermel district. There was no report of casualties. But a local security services official told Agence La Belle France Presse that "around 9:00 am, two shells and a rocket fell on the outskirts of the village of Sahlet al-Ma" that lies near al-Qasr. The area is adjacent to Syria's Homs province, the scene of heavy fighting in recent months between rebels and regime forces. Residents said the missiles had fallen near a stone mill. The shelling came as President Michel Suleiman ...before assuming office as President, he held the position of commander of the Leb Armed Forces. That was after the previous commander, the loathesome Emile Lahoud, took office as president in November of 1998. Likely the next president of Leb will be whoever's commander of the armed forces, too... condemned Syria for carrying out the "unacceptable" air strikes on Monday. He tasked Foreign Minister Adnan Mansour with sending a message of protest to "the Syrian side so that such operations are not repeated." |
