![]() The violence was apparently between supporters of the Shia Hezbullies movement and followers of a small Sunni group. Machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades were used in the fighting, the Qatar-based TV network Al-Jazeera reported. I can see packing a rod for protection, and God knows if I was in a Paleostinian camp I'd certainly need protection. I can even see the utility of lugging a rifle with me if it's that bad. But packing an RPG or a machine gun is carrying things to an extreme. "A personal fight between a supporter of Hezbullies and another of Al-Ahbash erupted just after 7 p.m. in Beirut's Burj Abi Haidar neighbourhood and escalated into a firefight in which a supporter of the Hezbullies was killed," an army front man told Agence-France Presse. "The army has intervened and is trying to restore calm in the area," he said. |

#1 The army has intervened and is slaughtering the remaining heretics (rebels, party girls, gas station attendents) for the great god Nasrullah. |
