Fierce Clashes between Hizbullah, Palestinian Elements near Borj al-Barajneh
2011-09-13
[An Nahar] Fierce machinegun festivities between a Lebanese group and a Paleostinian group are still ongoing since 7:00 pm in the "Kurds neighborhood" on the outskirts of the Beirut southern suburb of Borj al-Barajneh, state-run National News Agency reported.

"Security forces have not been able to reach the place due to the intensity of the festivities," NNA added.

Meanwhile,
...back at the barn, Bossy had come up with a new idea...
security sources told MTV that "10 Hizbullah members were maimed in a clash with a Salafist
...Salafists espouse an austere form of Sunni Islam that seeks a return to practices that were common in the 7th century. Rather than doing that themselves and letting other people alone they insist everybody do as they say and they try to kill everybody who doesn't...
group near Borj al-Barajneh."

Future News television, for its part, said festivities erupted between "Hizbullah members and Paleostinian elements in Borj al-Barajneh."

Later on Monday, around 8:25 pm, Al-Jadeed television said that the festivities were contained and that a meeting between Hizbullah officials and representatives of the Paleostinian factions in the Borj al-Barajneh refugee camp was underway.

In an interview with Al-Jadeed, Fatah Movement's secretary in the Borj al-Barajneh camp said "no clash erupted between Paleostinians from the Borj al-Barajneh camp and the brothers in Hizbullah; it was rather a personal dispute that escalated after unknown assailants tossed a hand grenade."

Voice of Leb Radio (100.5) reported that "ten Hizbullah members were maimed in fierce machinegun festivities between a Hizbullah group and another comprising Lebanese Salafists in the 'Kurds neighborhood' on the outskirts of the Borj al-Barajneh camp."

"The maimed were rushed to (Hizbullah-affiliated) Greatest Prophet Hospital amid extreme secrecy concerning the names," VOL reported.

"The clash started after a hand grenade was tossed on the street and followed by gunfire," VOL added, noting that "security forces are trying to unveil the circumstances" of the incident.

Jeez, it's getting so a guy can't toss a hand grenade anymore without provoking some kind of firefight.

#2  Salafist v Hezb? I'd take all bets on both and hope they hammer each other to pieces.
