Berri's followers clash with Lebanese Army |
2008-02-16 |
At least 11 Lebanese soldiers were allegedly wounded in a confrontation with rioters in Beirut, according to radio reports. The army command, however, did not issue any communique regarding the alleged development. The report said 10 privates and a captain were being treated at the military hospital from wounds suffered while trying to prevent rioters from smashing cars in the Abdul Nasser square of Beirut the day before. The report said rioters attacked soldiers with batons wounding the soldiers and inflicting damage to eight U.S.-made M-16 assault rifles. The rioters, the radio report claimed, were supporters of Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri's AMAL movement. |
