BEIRUT, Jan 1 (Reuters) - An unidentified sniper shot dead a Lebanese national on Saturday inside Baghdad's Green Zone, the seat of the Iraqi government and the U.S. and British embassies, Lebanon's foreign ministry said.

It said in a statement the dead man, 24-year-old Nabil Mahmoud, worked for a Kuwaiti company. It said another Lebanese was wounded in the Green Zone, but it did not say if it was in the same incident.

The statement gave no further details.
