“Lebanese Army Kills 15 Al Qaeda-Inspired Militants at Refugee Camp”
Sunday, September 02, 2007

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “BEIRUT, Lebanon — Lebanese troops fought Al Qaeda-inspired militants who broke out of a besieged Palestinian refugee camp in northern Lebanon on Sunday, killing 15 and capturing 15 others, officials said.

Heavy gunbattles that began during the dawn breakout continued through midday, with troops engaging Fatah Islam fighters in buildings, fields and roads around Nahr el-Bared camp, residents and television stations reported.

In a statement, the military said troops were attacking the remaining militant strongholds inside Nahr el-Bared and “chasing the fugitives outside the camp” who had staged “a desperate attempt to flee.”

It called on Lebanese citizens to inform the nearest army patrol of any suspected militants in their area, but gave no specifics on casualties excepting saying “a large number” had been killed or captured.

Lebanese security officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because no official casualty figures had been released by the military, said 15 militants were killed and 15 captured, all of whom were wounded.”
