Lebanon caretaker PM promises to 'punish' killers of Irish soldier on U.N. duty

Lebanon's caretaker prime minister Najib Mikati said on Friday that those responsible for the killing of an Irish soldier on a U.N. peacekeeping mission two days ago "will be punished." One soldier was shot and killed late on Wednesday and a second was in a critical condition after a hostile crowd surrounded their armoured vehicle in Lebanon's south, Ireland's defence minister said on Thursday.
