Lebanese minister accuses Syria of 'ethnic cleansing'
None
Syrian President Bashar Assad's forces have begun ethnically cleansing Sunni Muslims and deliberately pushing refugees across the border into Lebanon, the Lebanese caretaker minister for social affairs said on Tuesday.
Wael Abu Faour told Reuters that during the 27-month-old conflict Syrian forces had committed what was "tantamount to ethnic cleansing next to the Syrian-Lebanese border. (Assad) is trying to displace all the Sunnis to Lebanon and this is why I expect to have more displaced people," he said. (Reuters)
