![]() Friction between the two camps has been heating up since Aoun, who heads the Free Patriotic Movement, announced that he and his allies -- the Tashnag Party and MP Michel Murr -- will jointly contest the Metn seat that became vacant as a result of the assassination of Amin Gemayel's son, Pierre Gemayel. Lebanese army troops quickly stepped in and dispersed the feuding sides. Following the clash , the Phalange Party , headed by former president Amin Gemayel issued a statement in which it denounced the harassment of its supporters by the followers of the Free Patriotic Movement , headed by general Aoun and accused FPM of provoking the supporters of Gemayel and initiating the fight. |
