Lebanese army poised to storm Palestinian camp
The Lebanese army is preparing to launch a final assault against al Qaeda-inspired militants holed up at a Palestinian refugee camp in north Lebanon , political and security sources said on Wednesday.
Troops have been battling Fatah al-Islam fighters at Nahr al-Bared for nearly eight weeks in Lebanon 's worst internal violence -- which has so far killed 205 people -- since the 1975-1990 civil war. The army seized all militant positions on the outskirts of the camp last month but refrained from entering its official boundaries. (Reuters)
