Those are the good guys, insofar as Leb has good guys...
General Secretariat condemned on Wednesday the Syrian army's infiltration of Lebanese territory on Tuesday, "whether it was aimed at arresting Syrian citizens or attacking Lebanese citizens."
It urged in a statement after its weekly meeting the "Lebanese government and all its institutions to put an end to these violations and any future ones."
It also praised the formation of the Syrian National Transitional Council, interpreting it as a "major development in the Syrian revolution against oppression."
The General Secretariat slammed the slow Arab reaction in condemning the bloody crackdown against the revolt, saying that it is no longer acceptable.
Furthermore, it noted that as the international condemnation against the Syrian regime intensifies, the Lebanese government should respect international decisions "in order to prevent Leb from becoming a target of sanctions and preserve its security and interests."
On Tuesday, Russia and China vetoed a U.N. Security Council resolution threatening action against Syria's deadly crackdown on protests, while Leb, South Africa, India, and Brazil abstained.
Addressing the funding of the Special Tribunal for Leb, the March 14 General Secretariat said: "It is time for the government to determine its position on this matter."
"After Prime Minister
Najib Miqati vowed before the international community to fund it, he should translate his words into actions and issue a government decision on the matter," it stressed.Syrian troops infiltrated into Lebanese territory on Tuesday, raiding the homes of two brothers in the eastern town of Arsal, the third such infiltration in two weeks.
On Monday, more than 20 Syrian soldiers infiltrated 500 meters deep into Lebanese territory in the area of Rajam Beit Khalaf and al-Kalkha in Wadi Khaled in the northern province of Akkar.
Two weeks ago, a unit from the Syrian military accidentally fired at the Lebanese army after it infiltrated an area near the town of al-Mwanseh also in the north.
