TRIPOLI, Lebanon — Lebanese army artillery shelled a Palestinian refugee camp where a shadowy group suspected of ties to Al Qaeda was holed up Monday, pounding militant hideouts for a second day in the worst eruption of violence since the end of the 1975-90 civil war.
New clashes erupted Monday afternoon after a brief truce to allow the evacuation of 18 wounded civilians, and flames and heavy black smoke rose from the camp. It was not immediately clear what was burning.
The truce was arranged in talks between Palestinian officials and Prime Minister Fuad Saniora at a meeting in Beirut, Lebanese and Palestinian officials said.
The death toll from Sunday’s violence climbed to near 50, but it was not known how many civilians have been killed inside the Nahr el-Bared camp on the outskirts of the northern port city of Tripoli, the scene of the heaviest fighting.
FINALLY!!! The Lebanese Army is sick and tired of Al Qaeda in their country?
