Lebanon

Security forces killed Abdulrahman Awad, the suspected leader of al Qaeda-linked Fatah al Islam, during a shootout near the border with Syria. The government is setting up a fund for citizens to contribute in support of the Lebanese Armed Forces after the US suspended more than $100 million in aid.
