The Embassy of Lebanon in Baghdad released the following communiqué:

In view of the difficult conditions that Iraq is passing through currently and the ensuing dangers on people’s lives as well as private and public properties, the Lebanese Embassy in Baghdad calls upon all Lebanese citizens residing in Iraq and those who wish to go there to take into consideration those dangers in utmost seriousness. It further advises the Lebanese to take extreme caution and precaution during their stay in Iraq and in their movements. The Embassy draws attention to the fact that movement from, to, and within Iraq, if not for  very necessary reasons, is still not safe or secure, and will be at the individual’s personal responsibility.

Based on its concern about the safety and interests of Lebanese citizens, and on its close knowledge of the events, the Lebanese Embassy in Baghdad, hopes that its citizens will cooperate with this warning. It also renews its hope to the resumption of security and stability in Iraq and wishes prosperity and well-being to its people. The Lebanese Embassy further hopes for the cooperation of all those responsible for kidnapping innocent Lebanese, and calls upon them to treat them in a fraternal and moral manner, and to release them immediately.
