Beirut fighting worsens as Syria pounds Christian districts
Reports from Voice of Lebanon say Syrian shelling of East Beirut continued through the night while attackers drive bodies away from Beirut. More than 1,000 Lebanese dead or wounded in seven days. Blackouts hit the Christian sector, water and food scarce, with militiamen fighting near a northern bridge. Diplomats urge a truce as UN and Cyrus Vance back Waldheim Leprette appeal. Dayan criticizes Syria but foresees no impact on Israel Egypt talks.
