Sectarian gunbattles erupt as Lebanon crisis widens
Beirut faced running gunbattles on Thursday as Hezbollah accused the Western backed government of declaring war on his Shiite group. At least four people were killed and eight wounded in the capital, with roads blocked and areas divided into sectarian enclaves. The army stayed out as fighters exchanged fire near key political and religious sites, and the airport was effectively shut for a second day.
