Fierce clashes between government forces and Islamic militants left at least four Lebanese soldiers dead and nine injured Thursday, Arab-language television and international news agencies reported.
The Lebanese army fired artillery and tank shells into the Nahr el-Bared refugee camp. Fatah al-Islam, which shares the ideology of Al Qaeda, has quartered itself in the camp that was home to Palestinian refugees before the fighting started.
