At least three killed in north Lebanon clash

TRIPOLI, Lebanon (Reuters) - Gunmen from rival sectarian factions exchanged machinegun and grenade fire on Friday in Lebanon's northern city of Tripoli, killing at least three people and wounding 17, medical sources said.

Residents fled from the fighting between the Sunni Muslim Bab Tibbaneh and the Alawite Jabal Mohsen districts of Tripoli, where sectarian violence linked to Lebanon's political troubles has killed at least 16 people in the past two months.

One soldier had been seriously wounded by Friday's clashes, a military source said, adding that more troops had deployed in the area.

Muslim on Topix supports bin Laden?

Proud Black Muslimah said in the Islam Forum:

[QUOTE who="Wilberhum"] When did we disrespect Osama bin Lauden? Woudn't it be nice if the world was so simple?[/QUOTE] America has disrespected every Muslim by helping Israel against Palestinians. Osama bin Laden has stated this many times. Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11 and look what America is doing to them! The world would be a better place if understanding and respect replaced hatred and prejudice.
