UNIFIL: "No Scuds in Lebanon"

Xinhua/ here

"UN Interim Forces in Lebanon (UNIFIL) Commander General Alberto Asarta Cuevas stressed in remarks published on Wednesday that there was no proof that Syria had transferred Scud missiles to Hezbollah. "We have around 12,000 soldiers and three Lebanese army brigades in a small area. We haven't seen a thing, .....Scud missiles are big. I'm sure there are no Scuds because it is very difficult to hide them," he added....

Asked about the possibility of the eruption of a new war, the UNIFIL commander said no one intends to cause war. ... The United Nations special coordinator for Lebanon Michael Williams also said in April that he did not believe there will be a war in the region despite rising tensions over the Scud missiles allegation."
