| 14/06/2008 Lebanese forces arrested 10 people on Saturday after gunnmen opened fire on an army patrol near a Palestinian refugee camp in the north of the country, a security official said.
The attack occurred in Qobbeh on the northeastern edge of the port city of Tripoli, the official said. "There was an exchange of fire, but there were no injuries," he said adding that 10 people were arrested in the incident near the Beddawi Palestinian refugee camp.
On Thursday, the army defused a roadside bomb near a military base north of Tripoli and last month a soldier was killed in a blast at an army intelligence base in Abdeh, also in north Lebanon.
The latest violence comes as efforts to form a new national unity government are deadlocked over key portfolios, including the defense and interior ministries, despite an agreement last month by rival factions. |
