A peacekeeper with the United Nations Interim Forces in South Lebanon (UNIFIL) was killed and another injured in a vehicular accident Saturday in southern Lebanon, Lebanese police said.
The two victims were riding in a vehicle belonging to the Danish UNIFIL contingent, when it overturned near Qantara-Hujair road, dpa reported.
The 13,000-member multinational force, a massive enlargement of the 2,000-strong UN observer force already long in southern Lebanon, was authorized on August 11, 2006 as part of a UN Security Council resolution to end the war between the Lebanese Shiite movement Hezbollah and Israel.
