Security officials said a gunfight between two rival Christian
groups has left two people dead and three injured in northern Lebanon.
According to the AP, they said the clash between the anti-Syrian
Lebanese Forces and pro-Syrian Marada group took place early Wednesday
in the village of Bsarma in the northern district of Koura.
The clashes were triggered by a disagreement over hanging rival
posters. The three wounded were a policeman and two members of the
Lebanese Forces. Press reports said security forces raided the house of
the Syrian Social Nationalist Party member Ghassan Ghazi -- suspected of
causing the Bsarma clashes -- and arrested him.
