LFO condemns latest terrorist
attack.
LFO: Terrorist attacks are abhorrent no matter who they target.
For Immediate Release
15.1.08
Amsterdam Holland: The Lebanese Freedom Organization(LFO) deplores the
latest terrorist attack to hit Lebanon. The LFO extends its deepest
condolences to the families of the innocent victims who perished in the
attack.
The LFO’s thoughts and prayers are also with those who were injured and
we wish them a quick recovery. We hope that these atrocities cease in
order for the Lebanese to live in peace and harmony.
We affirm the fact that we find terrorist acts despicable no matter who
they target and call on all groups to unite against terrorism. Terror
and violence in all its forms must be stopped immediately. We urge all
political groups to help create an atmosphere of peace and stability and
to ensure that the safety and security of innocent civilians is
guaranteed.
The LFO is disappointed in the effort of the Lebanese Government in
finding the perpetrators of these heinous crimes. The assassinations,
assassination attempts and bombings have continued consistently for the
last 2 years with no arrests being made in any crime. It is not enough
to simply refer the crimes to the International Tribunal.
The Lebanese Government must assume its responsibilities to the people
it is meant to serve. It has a duty to ensure that the people of Lebanon
are safe and free from violence and terror. If the Government cannot
assume its responsibilities it should do the honourable thing and
resign.
The Lebanese Government must find and bring to justice all those who
committed the series of assassinations, assassination attempts and
bombings that have hit Lebanon. It is unacceptable for crimes to be
committed and the perpetrators are never brought to justice. The LFO
demands that a full investigation be conducted immediately and those
responsible for this latest attack found and brought to justice.
The LFO also calls on the Lebanese Government do more to protect lives
and property from those who seek to destabilise Lebanon. We also deplore
any attempt to exploit the deaths of innocent civilians for political
gains. We call upon all Lebanese leaders to assume their
responsibilities and help create a suitable environment for dialogue.
The Lebanese government thus far has reneged on its duty to the people
it’s meant to protect it has continually failed to act against those who
are committing acts of terror. It is remarkable that there have been 20
terrorist attacks and not one person has been labelled as a suspect, let
alone arrested. The Lebanese people are still paying the price for their
government’s failure.
The LFO affirms its solidarity with the people of Lebanon at this
crucial time. The LFO stands with the people of Lebanon in their quest
for a truly sovereign and independent Lebanon.
