TRIPOLI - Syrian forces killed one Lebanese fisherman and wounded another when they seized their boat off the Lebanese-Syrian coast on Friday, a relative said.

The area is known for smuggling and Syrian security services have become especially sensitive to contraband runs since a revolt against President Bashar Assad erupted 10 months ago.

Residents in Lebanon's northern coastal town of Arida said they heard gunfire and later saw a Syrian boat pulling the Lebanese fishing boat toward the nearby Syrian port of Tartous.
