Six Italian peacekeepers were wounded in Friday’s roadside
bombing in Sidon. It was the first such attack on UN peacekeepers there since
2008.
Maj. Gen. Alberto Asarta Cuevas said Monday the incident
will not interrupt the force’s operations on the ground. He said the
peacekeepers were determined “more than ever” to pursue their mandated task.
He spoke after meetings with senior Lebanese officials
during which they stressed the importance of completing the investigation with
utmost urgency.
No group has claimed responsibility for the bombing.
