More Lebanese Troops Deploy in Beirut After Sectarian Street Battles
Lebanese authorities have deployed more troops to Sunni neighborhoods of Beirut after street clashes erupted Saturday between Shi'ite and Sunni Muslims, leaving one person dead and at least 12 wounded.
The battles broke out late Saturday as supporters of the Shi'ite militant group Hezbollah left an opposition rally and passed through Sunni districts of the capital.
Police say the activists and local residents began fighting and throwing stones. Gunmen then opened fire, wounding several people, including a 20-year-old Shi'ite who later died.
Lebanon's military increased its presence in Sunni neighborhoods Monday to try to prevent more fighting as Shi'ite protesters pass by to reach the opposition rally.
Thousands of opposition protesters are camping out for a fourth day outside the government's headquarters in Beirut, vowing to remain until Prime Minister Fuad Siniora quits.
