Lebanon

The Lebanese Army shelled Al Qaeda affiliate Fatah al-Islam in the Nahr al-Bared camp for the third day, as at least 20 fighters, 32 soldiers and 27 civilians have been killed since fighting began Sunday. Fatah al-Islam claimed responsibility for the recent bombings in Beirut, vowed to ‘fight to last drop of blood’ but then declared a unilateral ceasefire.
