None
A shooting spree by gunmen loyal to a controversial Salafist sheikh in the southern Lebanese town of Sidon left one man dead and several wounded, the army and a security source said. Tuesday's shooting by armed men loyal to Sheikh Ahmed al-Assir, who is fiercely opposed to the Shiite Hezbollah movement, took place in Abra, a suburb of Sidon, the security source said, without giving further details.
"The shooting by armed men led to the killing of a citizen and several others have been injured," the Lebanese army said after deploying forces in Sidon following the incident. (AFP)
