Heavy fighting has broken out again in Lebanon's second city of Tripoli.
The clashes resumed between supporters of the Western-backed government and Shi'ite Hezbollah-led militia after Lebanese army troops withdrew from the northern city. At least 47 people have been killed since the unrest began five days ago across the country. Overnight at least 13 people were killed in the mountains east of Beirut when Hezbollah gunmen attacked pro-government Druze forces. Beirut itself is tensely calm. The Arab League is expected to send a delegation to end the sectarian conflict, which is the worst since a long-running civil war ended in 1990.
