More protection for Lebanon troops

THE 900 Spanish troops attached to the UN mission in Lebanon are to get safer vehicles. The ministry of Defence is providing 47 new Lynx multi-purpose light armoured vehicles (LMVs) for patrol duties. These will replace the more vulnerable BMR vehicles which afforded little protection in an attack on a Spanish convoy in 2007 when seven soldiers were killed.
