2007-06-04
Fatah al-Islam militants have been using the mosques to attack the Lebanese army . According to an army spokesman shots were fired from the minaret of a nearby the mosque. The army spokesman said "this confirms that Fatah al-Islam are strictly terrorists and have nothing to do with Islam, since they are using the house of worship to kill". The Palestinians also say that Fatah al-Islam has nothing to do with the Palestinians or Fatah organization.

The army has reported yesterday that some Fatah al-Islam fighters have abandoned their positions and are hiding in mosques and in health clinics and are storing all their weapons inside the mosques. Fatah al-Islam according to National News Agency ( NNA) are disintegrating and many of the fighters have left their positions and tried to infiltrate the civilians of the camp to hide from the army.

#1  Using mosques for cover. I don't think that's going to hinder Lebanese forces as much as it would coalition forces in Iraq.
