Fighting flares in Lebanon widen sectarian clashes
In the Druze heartland near Beirut, Christians and Muslims fought nightlong battles as violence threatened a new wave of sectarian warfare. The clashes spread from Baaouerta and Daroun to Kfarmatta and Abbey, amid Israeli and Syrian pressure and reports of foreign involvement. U.S. envoy Morris Draper pressed for foreign forces to withdraw while Israel weighs troop withdrawals.
