Beirut turmoil widens as armed groups clash and blocks tighten
In Beirut, about 8,000 have died as rival militias reoccupied fire gutted hotels. Leftist and Christian forces fought near the Phoenicia Intercontinental and Holiday Inn while police positions fell away. A police armored car was hit near the Phoenicia, killing one officer. Fighting rounds the American University of Beirut campus and hospital as the six day blockade of Tel Zatar and Jisr el Basha camps continues. Moderate Muslims led by Rashid Karami and Yasir Arafat urged the army to assume aid deliveries to camps to counter claims of arms smuggling. Regional leaders pressed for a government, with Italy facing a deadlock as Moro rejects Communist participation despite calls for a broad coalition. The Socialist party demanded economic reforms, opposing Moro’s bloc and threatening to block measures aimed at boosting industry and exports.
