US Embassy In Lebanon: 'We've Asked For Clarification Regarding 'Nakba Day' Events At Maroun Al-Ras'

(US General discussed LAF's role on Nakba day with ISF's Ashraf Rifi? at least this is what MEMRI 'translated') "The U.S. Embassy in Beirut has said that during his visit to Beirut May 19-20, U.S. Gen. John Charlton met with Ashraf Rifi and asked for clarifications regarding the "Nakba Day" events at Maroun Al-Ras. Charlton underlined the importance of cooperation between the two countries' militaries, and the tightening of relations between them, which would soon be manifested in a visit by a high-level Lebanese military delegation to Washington."
