Lebanese army poised to storm Palestinian camp
The Lebanese army was preparing to launch a final assault against Al-Qaeda-inspired militants holed up in a Palestinian refugee camp in northern Lebanon, political and security sources said on Wednesday. Troops have been battling Fatah al-Islam fighters at Nahr al-Bared for nearly eight weeks in Lebanons worst internal violence - which has so far claimed 205 lives - since the 1975-1990 civil war. The army seized all militant positions on the outskirts of the camp last month but refrained from entering its official boundaries.Posted by: Fred 2007-07-12 |
