| Army Consolidates Presence in al-Souairi after Jinbeen Family Member Succumbs to Injuries |
| 2014-01-06 |
| [An Nahar] The Lebanese army consolidated its presence in the eastern village of al-Souairi on Sunday after a man, who was injured in festivities with a rival family last month, succumbed to his wounds. "Rosebud!' The state-run National News Agency said the army's measures in and around the West Bekaa village were aimed at confronting any possible renewal of fighting after Faraj Jinbeen's death on Sunday morning. Faraj was maimed on the first day of gunbattles between the members of Jinbeen and Shouman families. The two-day festivities, which broke out after a personal argument, left six dead and several others maimed. But the army contained the incidents to prevent a sectarian conflict. The Shoumans are Shiites while members of the Jinbeen family are Sunni. |
