Siniora condemns 'campaign' against ISF
Former Premier MP Fouad Siniora said that discussions over a security agreement with the United States to train Internal Security Forces (ISF) should be restricted to the concerned Lebanese establishments and not be subject to allegations of betrayal.
What took place wasn’t an agreement but an accord by which the US offered a grant that included delivering aid to the ISF and the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF), the Sidon MP told visitors to his office in the town of Hlaliyeh, east of Sidon.
“It is as if the campaign against the ISF was prepared in advance to undermine the Lebanese establishments and especially the ISF,” he said, adding that all sides should support the ISF for its efforts to combat crime, terrorism, drugs and Israeli espionage networks. “The works of such Lebanese institutions should be endorsed rather than obstructed.”
