\n

  On the instructions of my Government, and with reference to press statement <\/span>SC\/8289 <\/a>issued by the President of the Security Council, dated 11 January 2005, and with reference also to the Secretary-General’s press release <\/span>SG\/SM\/9669<\/a>, dated 10 January 2005, I have the honour to make the following clarifications. <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

  Concerning the press statement by the President of the Security Council, <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

 (a)   “The legal attack by Hizbollah” that the press statement refers to in its first paragraph was, in fact, a roadside explosive device attributed to Hizbollah; <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

 (b)   This roadside explosive device was against an “Israeli patrol” in the Lebanese Shaba’a farms that are occupied by Israel and followed an Israeli attack on 7 January 2005 against two Lebanese civilians and their civilian vehicle across the Blue Line, on the Lebanese side, in the outskirts of the village of Meis El-Jabal. <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

  Concerning the Secretary-General’s press release, I would like to reiterate that the roadside explosive device attributed to Hizbollah was located in the Lebanese Shaba’a farms and not on the Israeli side of the Blue Line. <\/p><\/div>\n

\n

  I request to have the present letter circulated as a document of the Security Council and of the General Assembly, under agenda item 36. <\/p><\/div>\n
