The Lebanese army has accepted a request by Islamic militants holed up in the Nahr el-Bared Palestinian refugee camp to allow their families to leave the heavily destroyed area, a military official said Tuesday. A soldier and a civilian were also killed the ongoing fighting, the National News Agency said.
The senior military officer said the army accepted allowing the civilians to leave the camp, but a mechanism had not yet been put in place. He said he did not know how many civilians were left inside the camp, near the northern port city of Tripoli. (AP)
