Army Commander Gen. Michel Suleiman said in an interview published Friday that the military was ready to fight off any Israeli aggression on Lebanon. "If Israel should commit any stupidity, we are ready to use every available means to fight and confront the enemy under any circumstances," Suleiman told Al-Afkar magazine. He stressed that the military is "united" and can "prevent" the outbreak of civil war. On the Zahle incident where two Kataeb party members were gunned down, Suleiman said the shooting was "not planned." He noted that the army was working to prosecute the perpetrators. Suleiman uncovered that a recent visit to Beirut by U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs David Welch was aimed at discussing support for the Lebanese army, including the need for necessary weapons and equipment. The army chief said he had set up a permanent camp near the southern village of Rmeish, adding that he spends one night a month there along with a number of army staff to "stay up-to-date with the latest news as well as to give guidance and instruction."
