Lebanese army hunts for fugitives after camp raid

Lebanese soldiers fanned out along the Mediterranean coastline in northern Lebanon today, hunting for fugitives a day after the army crushed the remnants of a militant group and ended a three-month siege at a Palestinian refugee camp.

The army searched buildings and bushes for Fatah Islam fighters that may have escaped yesterday’s battle at the Nahr el-Bared camp. Patrol boats were out looking for bodies in the sea.
