Lebanese army exchanges fire with militants
Lebanese troops exchanged fire with militants on the run today, as the military swept a Palestinian refugee camp and surrounding areas in northern Lebanon to try to capture the last holdouts after a climactic battle.
The army launched a volley of artillery fire for over an hour in the afternoon after television reports said some fugitives opened fire and threw a hand grenade at a military patrol, injuring two soldiers. The state-run National News Agency said two militants were killed and three were captured in a building following the brief exchange.
