Prime Minister Tammam Salam declared next Sunday a day of mourning over the victims of an Algerian plane which crashed last July in Mali, Lebanon's National News Agency reported Friday.
The bodies of the Lebanese victims have just recently been identified.
"The 21st of December is a national day of mourning, starting eight in the morning and until five in the afternoon," Salam said in an official memo.
Salam requested all Lebanese to observe five minutes of silence at one p.m. in solidarity with families of the deceased.
