Plumbly warns against negative repercussions of Syrian crisis on Lebanon

Following his meeting with caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati at the Grand Serail, UN Special Coordinator for Lebanon Derek Plumbly called Monday on the Lebanese people to unite, to exercise restraint and to cooperate with the security forces in order to face the upcoming challenges.

Plumbly also extended his condolences to the families of the victims who were killed in the twin blasts that rocked Lebanon’s northern city of Tripoli, stressing the need to arrest the perpetrators.

Separately, the UN official called on the Lebanese people to prevent the negative repercussions of the Syrian conflict on the country.

“It has been the message of the UN Security Council since the onset of the Syrian crisis and it has become even more important with the repeated incidents in Syria,” Plumbly added.

On Friday the 23rd of August, two explosions rocked the northern Lebanese city of Tripoli near the al-Taqwa and al-Salam mosques, leaving 45 killed and almost 500 others injured.
