Besieged Tal Zaatar escape as Christian forces close in
More than a thousand Lebanese fled Tal Zaatar camp under siege by Christian forces. They streamed toward Dekwaneh amid sniper fire as guerrillas inside camp resisted, with estimates of 1,200 to 1,500 fleeing. Earlier, Red Cross convoy evacuations faced mobbing and delays. Across Cairo, two bombs damaged a government building, Egypt accusing Libya of sabotage and Khadafy backing clashes with Sadat over unification and hijacker policy.

In Johannesburg, Justice Minister James Kruger pledged the white minority government will heed urban black grievances but will not meet black leaders while violence continues after township unrest that left 174 dead.
