| The army yesterday killed 39 militants and arrested 24 outside the Nahr el Bared refugee camp in north Lebanon as they were trying to escape according to Dar el -Hayat daily sources Inside the camp the army found 6 bodies and arrested 5 wounded militants. The army identified the nationalities of the militants as : Lebanese, Syrian, Yemeni, Saudi, Serbian and Palestinian. There were many conflicting reports yesterday about the number of militants killed . The highest number reported yesterday was 45, a number that could have perhaps included the six bodies found inside the camp. The Lebanese army has added more road blocks in north Lebanon to capture fleeing militants. Lebanon yesterday declared victory over the Fatah al-Islam terrorists . PM Fouad Siniora called the event " the greatest national victory for Lebanon over the terrorists ". |
