| Reports have emerged of a possible cease-fire agreement with the militants holed up in a Palestinian refugee camp in northern Lebanon. According to a Palestinian Muslim cleric who has been mediating between the authorities and the Fatah al-Islam fighters inside the camp, the deal would include a cease-fire, to be followed by the militants' disarmament and surrender, AP reported on Tuesday. The cleric, Sheik Mohammed Haj, told the official Lebanese news agency that the militants agreed to conditions of his Palestinian Scholars Association and that he would present the proposal to the army on Wednesday. Sheik Mohammed did not offer more details, but the private New TV station said the conditions also include return of refugees, takeover of the camp by Palestinian factions and Fatah al-Islam's dissolution. Lebanon's army battled militants in the Palestinian refugee camp of Nahr al-Bared in northern Lebanon on Tuesday as the troops inched toward the militants' strongholds. Officials said two soldiers were killed in the fighting. |
