Clashes Resume in North Raising Death Toll to 9
Source: Al-Manar TV, 23-06-2008
Lebanese army forces have reportedly deployed on the outskirts of the northern region of Bab al-Tabbaneh in Tripoli as firefighting intensified Monday afternoon for second consecutive day in Jabal Mohsen and Bab al-Tabbaneh, raising the death toll to 9 alongside 50 wounded. Media reports also said that fighting expanded in the city of Tripoli and reached the Khan Askar region which was reportedly targeted with nine mortars leading to massive damages in properties.
A security official said that a 55-year-old man was killed early Monday by a stray bullet as he drove along the main highway linking Tripoli with Syria. Another man was also injured in the incident.
News reports also said that a mortar shell fell in the heart of Tripoli, hitting the Grand Mansouri Mosque on Sunday evening.
The clashes were taking place despite an agreement reached on Sunday between representatives of the feuding parties for fighters to keep off the streets and for the army to take charge of security.
Tripoli's Mufti Malek al-Shaar hosted intensified meetings at his residence in the city in an effort to put an end to the clashes. Shaar called on the security forces to deploy in the area in force and react strictly to any security violation.
On Sunday, at least four people were killed and 40 wounded when the fighting erupted between the loyalty bloc and the Arab Democratic Party.
Mortars, Rocket-Propelled Grenade launchers and automatic rifles were used in the confrontation, police reported.
Local reporters in Tripoli said that the thuds of exploding RPGs and Mortar rounds echoed across the city early in the morning accompanied by staccato bursts of machine gun fire.
ARAB DEMOCRATIC PARTY ABIDES BY AGREEMENT
The Arab Democratic Party issued a statement after midnight in which it announced its commitment to the ceasefire agreement that was reached between the feuding parties, accusing the "other side" of not adhering to it and continuing shelling and sniping.
The party called on the Lebanese Army leadership to work seriously to end this "irregular" situation, inviting the officials as well as the region clerics to stick to the agreement.
