Lebanon oppn urges complaint against Syria

BEIRUT — The Lebanese opposition on Tuesday called for an urgent complaint to the UN Security Council and the Arab League against Syrian President Bashar Al Assad’s regime.

Lebanon’s March 14 coalition, which is bitterly opposed to Assad, has accused Damascus of planning a series of bombings in Lebanon.

The demand for a formal complaint comes after a series of territorial violations by Syrian regime forces, including frequent cross-border shelling in recent months.

Earlier this month, a deadly car bomb blast in Beirut killed three people including a top security official.

The opposition blamed Syria and its Lebanese allies for the attack.

A statement by the March 14 coalition called for “the filing of an urgent complaint to the Arab League and the United Nations Security Council against the Syrian regime over the (bombing) and the daily violations against Lebanon’s borders and citizens.”
