Firefight between Hizbullah and Amal in Beirut leaves two dead
2003-09-05
Lebanese security forces patrolled a Beirut suburb Friday after an overnight firefight between rival Muslim Shiite parties left two men dead and six people injured on both sides, security officials said.
Only two? Well, more will follow when they get their Cycles of Dire Revenge started.
The clash in the southern district of Kafaat was caused after a scuffle over the hanging of party flags and posters of the leaders of Hizbullah and Amal.
Beruit version of "Changing Rooms".
Lebanese soldiers intervened and brought the situation under control, the officials said.
"Drop the flags and nobody will get.....oops,too late."
Police identified the fatalities as Hisham Bayrak of Amal and Hussein Aaladdin of Hizbullah.
They won’t be missed.
The clash was described as "a local incident" and was not expected to spread to other suburbs of Shiite-populated south Beirut. "It is not going to expand into a serious confrontation," one official said.
I wouldn’t count on it, hell hath no fury like a interior designer scorned.
