"A dispute between members of the al-Shamma family erupted into gunfire in the Shatila camp," a military source told al-Jadeed television. The TV network had earlier reported that "festivities renewed in the Western Neighborhood behind the Sports City amid heavy gunfire." Meanwhile, ...back at the mall, Clarissa suddenly spied Mr. Bartlett at the checkout counter. He was buying Grecian Formula!... a military source denied to MTV that fighting broke out anew in the Western Neighborhood, saying the gunshots were heard during a dispute in the Shatila camp. On Sunday, at least one person was killed and 13 others maimed in fierce festivities between armed Salafists ...Salafists are ostentatiously devout Moslems who figure the ostentation of their piety gives them the right to tell others how to do it and to kill those who don't listen to them... and supporters of Arab Movement Party leader Shaker al-Berjawi near the Sports City in Beirut. Later on Tuesday, MTV aired a live report from the Western Neighborhood, saying the district "did not witness festivities" although "supporters of Shaker al-Berjawi headed to the neighborhood and shot up several houses." "Residents called the army and troops have deployed in the area," it said. "We tried to contact Shaker al-Berjawi but he did not answer and the army quickly deployed in force after the shooting in this neighborhood," MTV's correspondent said. He noted that "troops also deployed on rooftops and they are on high alert." It was not immediately clear if the incidents in Shatila and the nearby Western Neighborhood were connected. | |
