Lahd fails to obtain asylum in France

Antoine Lahd, head of the former so-called Southern Lebanese Army, the militia which collaborated with the “Israeli” military occupation in southern Lebanon, returned to Tel Abib from Belgium after he failed to obtain an entry visa to France.

Lahd told “Israeli” daily Yediot Ahronot that since the “Israeli” pullout from Lebanon on May 24, he has been promised to be able to permanently reside in Paris, however, the French authorities did not give him the permission.

The “Israeli” newspaper reported from persons close to Lahd that his health condition is unstable, and his morale is at its lowest.
