A roadside bomb ripped through a UN convoy carrying Italian peacekeepers in southern Lebanon yesterday, wounding six of them in the first such attack since 2008, officials said.
“It was an attack against UNIFIL,’’ said Italian General Santi Bonfanti, second-in-command of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon, ruling out that the blast was specifically aimed at Italians.
