Fresh assault on militants' camp in north Lebanon - Independent Online Edition > Middle East: "Sporadic fighting between Lebanese troops and al-Qaida-inspired Islamic militants continued yesterday in a northern Palestinian refugee camp as police, stepping up raids nationwide on suspected militant hideouts, made 13 more arrests.

In eastern Lebanon, police arrested a Syrian man with Lebanese citizenship after raiding his apartment in the village of Ghazzeh.

Security officials said troops confiscated detonators and timers from the apartment. An army raid on a suspected militant hideout Thursday, also in eastern Lebanon, uncovered vehicles rigged with explosives that were hidden in a garage with several rockets.

Authorities arrested separately 12 Iraqi nationals at the Masnaa Lebanon-Syria border crossing in the eastern Bekaa Valley after they crossed in from Syria. They said the men carried forged foreign passports, but it was not immediately clear whether they were related to Fatah Islam militants." Read complete post here.
