Reuters File/Representative image Lebanon on Wednesday officially filed a complaint with the United Nations over Israel’s deadly device attack that killed several Hezbollah members as it exploded their pagers in September. Lodging a complaint with the UN’s International Labour Organization, Lebanese Labor Minister Mustafa Bayram claimed the attack was an “egregious war against humanity, against technology, against work.” “It’s a very dangerous precedent,” he told journalists in the Swiss city at an event organized by the UN correspondents’ association ACANU. Although Israel has not claimed responsibility for the attack, Lebanon says it is “widely accepted internationally… that Israel was behind this heinous act.” “In a few minutes, more than 4,000 civilians fell, between martyrs and injured and maimed,” Bayram said.
