Palestinere skutt av den libanesiske hær

Den liba­ne­siske hær åpnet fre­dag ild for å hindre demon­stre­rende pale­sti­nere å mar­sjere til flykt­ninge­lei­ren Nahr el-Bared. To pale­sti­nere ble drept og 29 ble såret.

Govern­ment sol­di­ers shot at angry Pale­sti­nian demon­stra­tors try­ing to march home to their besieged camp in northern Leba­non on Fri­day, and two people were reported kil­led and 29 wounded.

Lebanese youths sup­ported the tro­ops by enga­ging in fist­fights with Pale­sti­nian pro­te­sters, the state-run Natio­nal News Agency said.

The con­fron­ta­tion was the first major trouble between Pale­sti­ni­ans and Lebanese tro­ops since figh­ting broke out last month at the Nahr el-Bared refugee camp between the army and Fatah Islam, an extre­mist group with follow­ers from seve­ral Arab nations.
