WASHINGTON, June 10 (Xinhuanet) -- The United States accused
Syria on Friday of failing to implement the terms of a United Nations
resolution that it withdraws all its forces from Lebanon and accused Damascus of
interfering in Lebanese elections.
"We are deeply concerned about
Syria's interference and intimidation inside Lebanon," White House spokesman
Scott McClellan told reporters.
"Syria needs to comply fully with United Nations
Council Resolution 1559. That means getting all their intelligence operatives
out of Lebanon," McClellan said.
"We are concerned that those intelligence operatives
are interfering in Lebanon's internal affairs.
"We have all called on the United Nations to send the
verification teams back to Lebanon," the spokesman said, adding that UN
Secretary General Kofi Annan said he was "looking at this course of action."
On April 26, Syria informed the United Nations that
it had completed the withdrawal of its forces from Lebanon in line with Security
Council resolution 1559. Enditem |
