Journalist Attack in Lebanon

The United States condemns the brutal attack on Lebanese journalist May Chediac, who was wounded in a car bombing on September 25, 2005. Ms. Chediac is a voice for dialogue and free expression. The United States joins her family and friends in wishing her a speedy recovery.

Those who attacked Ms. Chediac want to impede Lebanon’s steady progress towards full independence and sovereignty. The United States stands with the courageous people of Lebanon as they emerge from decades of foreign occupation and chart their own democratic future.
