Graham blasts Harper's reaction to death of Canadian peacekeeper in Lebano

MONTREAL (CP) - Interim Liberal leader Bill Graham is criticizing Prime Minister Stephen Harper's reaction to the death of a Canadian peacekeeper in Lebanon as "completely unacceptable."

The Canadian and three other unarmed observers were killed earlier this week after an Israeli jet bombed the clearly marked UN post.

Harper has said Maj. Paeta Hess-von Kruedener of Kingston, Ont., is missing and presumed dead.

The bombing prompted the prime minister to question why the UN didn't pull its observers out of what he called a virtual war zone.

Graham says Harper seems to have forgotten that Canada has been part of UN missions for several decades.
