Floor to floor fights in Beirut dim peace hopes
In Beirut Christians and Muslims fought floor to floor near the harbor as a Moslem rocket barrage set the Fattal building ablaze. Gunmen looted the Nazi Bank of Paris vaults, while the death toll rose past 25,500 with more buildings burning. Jumblatt’s leftist forces pressed a move on Christian areas but were halted by Syrian intervention. Prime Minister Karami warned the government risks insolvency amid continuing fighting and halted arm deliveries.
