Lebanon files UN complaint against Israel over pager attacks

Lebanon said it has filed a complaint with the United Nations' labour agency over Israel's deadly attacks on communication devices across the country in September.

Lebanese Labour Minister Mustafa Bayram called the attack an "egregious war against humanity, against technology, against work", saying his country had filed the complaint with the International Labour Organization in Geneva.

"It's a very dangerous precedent," he told journalists in the Swiss city at an event organised by the UN correspondents' association Acanu.
