 (IANS) Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora has urged Pakistan to send its troops to his war torn country 'as armies from Muslim states' will help in restoring the situation.
| To what? Is Fuad out of his mind? |
'If armies from the Muslim states are deployed in the country, the situation will improve,' Siniora told Pakistan's private Geo TV channel in his first detailed interview after the Israeli attack in Lebanon. In the interview broadcast Sunday, Siniora said, 'Unless Israel withdraws from the occupied areas in Lebanon and provides maps of the landmines, a settlement is impossible'.
Meanwhile, The Nation newspaper criticised the government's stand that Islamabad would await a UN resolution before sending peacekeepers to Lebanon. It noted that Pakistan has yet to officially condemn the Israeli action due to the US support to the latter on the issue. |
