1 killed, 10 wounded in northern Lebanon sectarian fighting
By JERUSALEM POST STAFF
Sectarian fighting in the northern city of Tripoli killed one person and wounded 10, Lebanese police officials said Friday.
The state-run National News Agency said the clashes between Sunni Muslim gunmen and Alawites broke out at dawn Friday after a hand grenade was thrown toward a Sunni area.
The two police officials say the fighting escalated later as automatic rifles and rocket-propelled grenades were used between the Sunni Bab el-Tabaneh district and the predominantly Alawite Jabal Mohsen neighborhood. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not allowed to speak to the media.
