Three People Wounded in Ras Nabaa Violence
The Lebanese Army contained late Monday sporadic disturbances between Amal Movement and the Baath Party, on one hand, and Mustaqbal Movement partisans, on the other in Beirut”s Ras Nabaa district.
The daily al-Mustaqbal said the "attacks" by AMAL and Baath members followed the lifting of "religious banners" by Mustaqbal partisans welcoming the month of Ramadan.
Such banners, according to the report, were considered by AMAL and Baath "provocative," the report added.
"AMAL members attacked the Zi Nourrein mosque, smashed shops and cars parked in the streets. Some youths from Ras Nabaa district were beaten up and admitted to hospital for treatment," according to the report.
Hospital sources said at least three Mustaqbal Movement partisans were treated from wounds and bruises.
