No land for Quakers – Part 2

Wow. The fight continues on in Lebanon. Ynet News is reporting 9 dead and over 50 wounded.

VIDEO - Sectarian fighting raged for a second day in north Lebanon on Monday, further denting a Qatari-brokered deal to end the country's political crisis. Security sources said nine people had been killed and 50 wounded in the clashes in Tripoli, Lebanon's second largest city.

The fighting, which broke out at dawn on Sunday, continued on the outskirts of the mainly Sunni Muslim port city despite a ceasefire agreement between Sunni supporters of the government and Alawite gunmen close to the Hizbullah-led opposition. Several homes, shops and cars were damaged in fighting around the Sunni Bab Tibbaneh district and Alawite Jabal Mohsen.

The warring sides exchanged machinegun fire, grenades and mortar bombs. Scores of families fled and sought safe haven in other parts of the city and nearby villages. The Lebanese army was in contact with both sides to arrange for the ceasefire to be respected, the sources said.

Ynet News carries a video at their site of the fighting. Every time I see these news clips it makes me regret I don’t have an export business selling balaclavas. Talk about an expanding market.
