Lebanon pager attacks aimed to 'spread terror', says EU foreign policy chief

The EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell condemned attacks which targeted communication devices in Lebanon this week, saying whoever was behind them aimed "to spread terror in Lebanon".

"The indiscriminate method used is unacceptable due to the inevitable and heavy collateral damages among civilians, and the broader consequences for the entire population, including fear and terror, and the collapse of hospitals," Borrell said in statement published Thursday.
