Safa urges not to involve Hezbollah in UNIFIL incident

Hezbollah coordination and liaison officer Wafiq Safa urged Thursday not to involve Hezbollah in an attack that killed an Irish member of the UN peacekeeping force and wounded three others.

Safa told LBCI that the incident was unintentional, sending his condolences for UNIFIL and wishing recovery to the three wounded members.

"An Irish UNIFIL vehicle had taken a road not normally used by the U.N. force," Safa said, adding that another vehicle that had taken the international highway that the UNIFIL vehicles usually take was not attacked.

Safa demanded to let security forces investigate the incident.
