Lebanon says it does not want war with Israel Lebanese President Joseph Aoun told a UN Security Council delegation on Friday that Lebanon seeks diplomacy, not war, amid ongoing tensions with Israel. He urged international support for the Lebanese army’s plan to disarm non-state groups like Hezbollah, while stressing the Lebanese people are “tired of military confrontations.” Hezbollah backed diplomacy but criticized civilian involvement in talks. The ceasefire-monitoring committee, including civilian representatives, will resume meetings on December 19, as Israel continues strikes in southern Lebanon.
According to RT.com,weeks after the Christmas market attack in Berlin,German government reportedly issued a paper stating the country is at 'high risk'' of terrorist attacks carried out by ''Islamist-motivated perpetrators'' who may employ large amounts of chemicals to target drinking water supplies.The government apparently takes the threat seriously as the paper-accessed by Bild magazine-directs the German armed forces,intelligence agencies and emergency services to prepare for action in the event of a chemical attack.''A determined and well-trained terrorist group is likely to be in a position to exploit Germany's potential chemical hazard in order to stage and attack'',says the report jointly prepared by the government and the federal police {BKA} to evaluate level of threats to civilian population.Islamist-motivated perpetrators are able to ''procure and use large amount of chemicals,'' it states,also describing ''realistic options'' of a chemical attack.There is also ''a high-risk potential'' of terrorist organizations using chemicals to target food and drinking water supplies used in large residential buildings,and attacking chemical industry's infrastructure.The German armed forces have been preparing for this ''more intensively than before,'' the report adds in conclusion.
