UNIFIL welcomes conviction and sentencing of man who killed Irish peacekeeper
UNIFIL said Tuesday that it welcomes the conclusion of the trial process and the Government of Lebanon’s commitment to bring the perpetrators to justice, after Lebanon’s Permanent Military Court found guilty six of the individuals charged in the killing of Irish peacekeeper Private Seán Rooney in Al-Aqbieh in December 2022.
"Since the attack, UNIFIL has extended its full support to both Lebanese and Irish authorities with their respective judicial proceedings," the statement said.
"Once again, we offer our deepest condolences to the family, friends, and colleagues of Private Rooney and the Government of Ireland."

Will the police now arrest Mohammad Ayyad? With the LAF detain him? Maybe Nabih wants to start consultations about how to start to negotiate for his surrender by whoever knows where he might be .. ... or the Justice Department could just put a call into a Tel Aviv mystery number and ask the enemy to the South to get it handled as a contribution to regional stability ... surely they know where he is and how to get to him even if the President of the Parliament doesn't <sarc />
