Geoffrey at Beyond Wallacia points out that a Hizballah rocket attack wounded three United Nations peacekeepers at the UNIFIL base in southern Lebanon yesterday:

Three Chinese soldiers in the United Nations peacekeeping force were lightly wounded on Sunday when a mortar round fired by Hizbollah hit their base in southern Lebanon, a spokesman for the UNIFIL force said.

“A mortar round from Hizbollah impacted inside the headquarters of the Chinese contingent in the al-Hinneyeh area,” the spokesman said.

No condemnation from the U.N. yet. No indignant Euroweenies bemoaning deliberate targeting of civilians by Hizballah. But of course not. Don’t you know Kofi Annan considers terrorist mortar rounds and rocket strikes on its peacekepping bases friendly fire?
