How do you think they'll blame this one on Israel or the United States?
NAHR AL-BARED, Lebanon (Reuters) - Battles engulfed a Palestinian refugee camp in north Lebanon on Monday in the second day of fighting between the Lebanese army and al Qaeda-inspired militants which has killed 79 people.
Black smoke billowed from the Nahr al-Bared camp, home to 40,000 Palestinians, as tanks shelled positions held by Fatah al-Islam fighters hitting back with machinegun and grenade fire.
In the capital Beirut, a bomb rocked a shopping area in the mainly Sunni Muslim district of Verdun wounding at least seven people, security sources and witnesses said.
Prime Minister Fouad Siniora's government, at a meeting on Monday to discuss the fighting, stressed the need "to put an end" to Fatah al-Islam, Information Minister Ghazi Aridi said.
