Close-range fighting rages in Beirut as toll mounts
In Beirut the front line between Muslim and Christian factions saw renewed close-range combat while a temporary halt on shelling residential areas persisted for a second day. Hospital officials cited over 90 dead and 120 wounded overnight. Christian spokesmen described heavy rifle and mortar fire at 11 Beirut hotspots as Palestinian and leftist Muslim gunmen attempted to breach Christian positions. Corpses were reported in southern Beirut districts, with fighting intensifying in the mountains east of the city as Christians seek to reclaim towns left to leftist forces earlier in the year.
