Mass Death in Lebanon War Rages Across Beirut
At least 196 people were killed and 17 wounded in a day of fighting between Muslim, Christian and Palestinian forces around Beirut’s Camp Sabra and nearby refugee camps. Army and police reports note one of the war’s highest daily tolls as barricades and blockades persist, with Palestinian guerrillas pressing a major push toward the Jer el-Bashs and Tal Zataar camps amid Christian military pressure. The siege blocks aid convoys to the camps, heightening the danger in a months-long civil conflict.

French decision grants full rights to six Breton children

A family spokesman called it a terrific victory and vindication.
