President Michel Suleiman tasked on Tuesday Foreign Minister Adnan Mansour with sending a letter of protest to Syria over air raids in the northeastern border area that violated Lebanese sovereignty.
Suleiman said the air raids were “unacceptable” and “violated Lebanese sovereignty.” A statement carried by the state-run National News Agency said the letter of protest should be aimed at preventing “the Syrian side from repeating such operations.” In remarks to NBN television later on Tuesday, Mansour said: "When I return to Beirut, I will look into the details and start my contacts."
