U.N. Coordinator Warns Lebanese Leaders against 'Settling of Scores'

U.N. Special Coordinator for Lebanon Jan Kubis on Tuesday warned Lebanon's political leaders against what he called the "settling of scores."

The "tragic events in Tripoli that pitted violent protesters against LAF (Lebanese Army) and caused martyrdom of a protester and multiple injuries on both sides sends a warning signal to political leaders of Lebanon -- this is not (the time) for mutual settling of scores or attacking banks," Kubis tweeted.

"This is the time to provide material support to increasingly desperate, impoverished and hungry majority of Lebanese all around the country," he added.
