In a presser held on Sunday, Makdissi said the army forces did not use any heavy weapons upon entering the village in response to the resident's pleads, adding that damage due to the clash was caused to only five buildings in which the bully boyz were positioned along with their weapons.
Makdissi: Annan's Letter Is Hasty and Not Based on Reality
He referred to a letter received by Foreign and Expatriates Minister Walid al-Moallem form the UN envoy Kofi Annan
...Ghanaian diplomat who served as the seventh and so far the worst Secretary-General of the UN. Annan and the UN were the co-recipients of the 2001 Nobel Peace Prize for something or other that probably sounded good at the time. In December 2004, reports surfaced that Kofi's son Kojo received payments from the Swiss company Cotecna, which had won a lucrative contract under the UN Oil-for-Food Program. Kofi Annan called for an investigation to look into the allegations, which stirred up the expected cesspool but couldn't seem to come up with enough evidence to indict Kofi himself, or even Kojo...regarding the events in al-Treimseh, which Makdissi described as "hasty to the furthest extent" and not based on the reality of what happened in the village.
