Two dead in sectarian clash in north Lebanon

At least two people were killed in the northern Lebanese city of Tripoli on Friday when armed residents from rival sectarian factions clashed, a military source said, hours after a demonstration in support of Syrian protesters.

 

The fighting with grenades and gunfire erupted between residents of the Sunni Muslim Bab al-Tebbaneh neighbourhood and the Jabal Mohsen neighbourhood, whose inhabitants are Alawite, the sect to which Syrian President Bashar al-Assad belongs. (Reuters)
