Geagea Calls on Chemical Experts to Inspect Ghouta, Urges U.N. Meeting over 'Horrific Massacre'
إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية
Lebanese Forces chief Samir Geagea urged the United Nations' investigators present in Syria to inspect the Reef Damascus town where “a horrific massacre” took place earlier on Wednesday.
"We strongly condemn the horrific massacre that killed hundreds of civilians and children in Reef Damascus this morning,” Geagea said in a released statement.
"And we call on the U.N. investigators already present in the country to inspect the location of the massacre to uncover what really happened there,” he added.
Geagea also called for an emergency U.N. Security Council meeting on the latest Syrian developments, “to take the necessary decisions in this matter.”
"The Arab League must also convene immediately to look into the massacre.”
The LF leader remarked that Wednesday's attack cannot be considered in the same context as the ongoing military operations between the regime's forces and the opposition's rebels.
"The victims were killed in locations where no armed clashes that require such attacks take place,” he pointed out.
"We call on all the Lebanese, regardless of their backgrounds and political views, to condemn this massacre for the human aspect it entails.”
The Syrian National Coalition said that at least 1300 people were killed in a “chemical” attack in the Damascus suburban town of Ghouta.
The claim of a chemical attack, which could not be independently verified, was vehemently denied by the Syrian regime which said it was intended to hinder the mission of U.N. chemical weapons inspectors now in the country.

Geagea is right. Something must be done. Did anyone see the videos? Kids killed?
How can M8ers sleep at night is beyond my understanding.

The Christian forces are to be disarmed. The army was given the command to disarm them at a horrific cost to the Christian areas and the balance of power in Lebanon, culminating in the complete occuption of Lebanon by the Syrians. The Shiia army is to be supported, our movement will support them, also at a horrific cost to the whole of Lebanon and the balance of power in Syria.
Do you know who I'm talking about FT?
