BEIRUT, Dec 14 (NNN-NNA) – Lebanese Caretaker Prime Minister, Najib Mikati, yesterday said that, as one of the countries suffering the most from terrorist acts, Lebanon called for collective cooperation and intensive coordination to fight terrorism.
He made the appeal in a speech, delivered at a symposium on “Coordination Mechanisms in Combating Terrorism” organised by the Lebanese government, in cooperation with the “Advanced Counter Terrorism Project for Lebanon Security,” which is funded by the European Union.
As “the world has been living for decades with a collective threat, represented by terrorism that strikes everywhere,” Mikati said, combating terrorism “is not only the responsibility of a specific security or intelligence apparatus, but rather requires collective cooperation, unification of expertise and information, and intensive coordination.”
In the past years, Lebanese security has carried out several pre-emptive operations that prevented terrorist activities, dismantled terrorist networks, and managed to arrest their leaders and members.– NNN-NNA
