Bomb hits Algerian Embassy in Beirut amid cease fire
A bomb exploded outside the Algerian Embassy in Beirut injuring no one, with a radio claim of responsibility by Islamit Amal, a pro Iran Shiite faction. Earlier, a deadly battle at Bourj el Barajneh refugees camp raised the casualty toll to five dead and twenty wounded as Amal and Palestinian militants clashed before a new truce was set. Meanwhile 2000 tons of flour were readied to move from Christian east Beirut to the Muslim west.

Rand plunge and mine strike end in South Africa turmoil
In Johannesburg the rand tumbled nearly five cents in early trading as the government lifted a trading suspension. A Gold Fields mine dismissed 5,000 striking black workers but later said they were returning to work after a union pause. Police reported racial tensions with a death and a legislator's home set ablaze as the currency faced renewed pressure.

Beirut's nightly symphony of war relived by residents
In Boury el Barajneh and west Beirut the six story block near the Green Line becomes a shelter and stage for daily bombardment. Neighbors endure food shortages, schools closed, and authorities absent as militiamen enforce a harsh order. A streetwise view shows shattered commerce, power cuts, and a population adapting to a perpetual crisis.
