| [An Nahar] Exchange of gunfire renewed on Tuesday between the rival Tripoli ...a confusing city, one end of thich is located in Lebanon and the other end of which is the capital of Libya. Its chief distinction is being mentioned in the Marine Hymn... districts of Bab al-Tabbaneh and Jabal Mohsen, as the army threatened an "unprecedented response" against anyone who violates the fragile ceasefire. Army troops fired back at the sources of gunfire, as state-run National News Agency said no gunnies were visible on Bab al-Tabbaneh's streets. Meanwhile, ...back at the laboratory the fumes had dispersed, to reveal an ominous sight... al-Jadeed television reported that gunnies from Jabal Mohsen shot up Bab al-Tabbaneh, while Al-Arabiya said Bab al-Tabbaneh gunnies opened fire first. Al-Jadeed quoted Jabal Mohsen sources as saying that "orders have been given not to fire back at Bab al-Tabbaneh shooters." The TV network also reported festivities between "the al-Amerkan neighborhood and Jabal Mohsen." It quoted army sources as saying that "should the situation remain like this, there will be an unprecedented response (from the army) never witnessed before by the two parties." Earlier on Tuesday, unidentified attackers hurled two hand grenades on Starco Street which is adjacent to Syria Street. |
