Post-election clash kills man in Lebanon town

BEIRUT – A man was killed in a Lebanese town on Tuesday in clashes between supporters of rival Druze parties stemming from tensions over Sunday's election, a security source said.

The dead man was a member of the Progressive Socialist Party. Its leader and that of its rival, the Lebanese Democratic Party, issued a joint statement condemning the violence.

Video clips which Reuters could not immediately verify showed security forces deployed in the town of Choueifat, south of Beirut, to break up scuffles between the sides.
