Israeli Bomb Kills Four U.N. Observers

Posted on Jul 25, 2006

The United Nations peacekeepers were holed up at an observation post in southern Lebanon. U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan said he was “shocked” at the “apparently deliberate targeting” of the post.

BBC:

Four United Nations peacekeepers have been killed in an Israeli air strike on an observation post in southern Lebanon, the UN has said.

A bomb struck the post occupied by the peacekeepers of the Unifil force in the Khiam area, it said.

UN Secretary General Kofi Annan said he was “shocked” at the “apparently deliberate targeting” of the post.

The attack came as Israel said it would control an area in southern Lebanon until international forces deployed.

The force will be discussed at crisis talks to be held in Rome on Wednesday.

The U.N. Secretary is nothing more then a joke it does nothing and never will. General Kofi Annan is a bigger joke to send some peacekeepers to the middle of a war zone and the show his real intent by saying he is shocked and then accusing deliberate targeting.
The Israelis are fighting for there very existence. The Lebanese and the Arab world doesnt seem to want anything but to kill all Jews just like Hitler wanted to. I have yet to see any attempt by the Arabs to keep peace in fact all I have ever seen is the exact opposite.
Whats next after you kill all the Jews? O, I forgot then you kill all the infidels.

had to take out those peacekeepers—don’t want non-arab witnesses to see chemical weapons or cluster bombs—arabs don’t count as witnesses just as they don’t count as human beings
