Statement by the Secretary General of
NATO
Like other representatives of the international community I am profoundly
shocked and appalled by news of the brutal assassination of Mr. Pierre
Gemayel, Lebanese Minister of Industry. I condemn this cowardly act. It
is imperative that those responsible for this murder are expeditiously
apprehended and brought to justice.
My thoughts are with the family of the victim, as well as with the people
of Lebanon and of the whole region who deserve a better, more peaceful
future.
