Lebanon will add Reuters, AFP reports to U.N. complaint-statement
Lebanon said on Thursday it would refer to the U.N. Security Council news reports by Reuters and Agence France-Presse that showed Israeli military fire killed a Reuters journalist and wounded six others in south Lebanon on Oct. 13.
In a Lebanese government statement responding to the publication of separate investigations by the news agencies, caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati said in a statement: "Israeli criminality has no limits".
Reuters is seeking comment from the Israeli prime minister's office on the Lebanese government statement.
