(AKI) - Clashes between rival Christian factions in northern Lebanon on Wednesday left two people dead and injured three others. The clashes took place between the pro-Syrian Marada group and the anti-Syrian Lebanese Forces factions in the northern Lebanese village of Bsarma, 74 kilometres from Beirut. A member of each rival faction was killed, while a policeman and two members of the Lebanese Forces were injured. The clashes began after Marada tried to prevent the rival group from hanging a banner commemorating the Lebanese Forces.Last week, a pro-Syrian politician was killed in a car bomb, while on Monday one person was killed after rival Palestinian factions clashed in Lebanon's largest Palestinian refugee camp in the south of the country.
