Fighting ends interim of quiet in Beirut
Ry United Press International
BEIRUT, Lebanon — Fighting erupted yesterday after three days of calm in the Lebanese capital, killing a member of the new security force patrolling a tense buffer zone between militiamen, Lebanese television said.
Three civilians were also killed in the latest fighting, radio reports said.
The first killing of a member of the new 1,200-member force deployed last week came as Syrian President Hafez Assad and Lebanese opposition leaders in Damascus to discuss political reform aimed at bringing peace to Lebanon.
A civilian was killed in a crowded neighborhood in Christian east Beirut when he was hit by a rocket apparently fired from west Beirut, Christian radio said.
Druse radio said that two civilians
were killed and several others were injured on the mainly Muslim western side.
Police said that scattered fighting jolted Beirut for nine hours with enemy militaiens battling across the Green Line that divides the city. Radio reports said that tanks, rocket-propelled grease and other heavy weapons were used.
Lebanon television said that machine-gun fire raked the Sodeca area of the Green Line, trapping some members of the 1,200-man neutral security force in cross fire. One recruit and several others were wounded, it said.
OTHER MEMBERS OF THE Lebanese security team fled from a cease-fire monitoring post in the city's port area because rockets burst into the building, an Internal Security Force officer said.
The security force of ISF men, reservists and army recruits began
moving Friday into a new buffer zone set up to separate the Muslim and Christian factions in Beirut and the hills outside the city.
In the Syrian capital, Assad met with Lebanese opposition leaders Rashid Karami, Nabih Berril and Walid Jumblatt for five hours of talks "on achieving a national accord in Lebanon." official Damascus radio said.
"We spoke with President Assad about all the roads possible for a solution," Karami said in remarks carried by Beirut radio.
The Lebanese opposition leaders, who arrived in Damascus over the weekend, are demanding more power for the Muslim majority in the Christian-dominated government of President Amin Gemavel.
THEY ALSO ARE CALLING for reform of the army and with the withdrawal of some 10,000 Israel occupation troops from southern Lebanon.
Damascus radio said that Assad
whose summit with Gemayel last week led to an agreement to form a new Lebanese government, discussed a possible Cabinet headed by Karami, a Sunni Muslim and former prime minister.
The radio said that Jumball, the Druse Muslim leader, later flew to Paris for talks with French President Francois Mitterrand, and Assad was host for a banquet for Karami and the buoyer of the Amal Shiite Muslim movement.
Syrian Vice President Abdel Halim Khaddam left for Saudi Arabia after the meetings in Damascus, Lebanese newspapers said that Gemayel and Ali Sabin were expected in Jeddah by tomorrow, possibly to see Saudi King Fahd.
In Beirut, Gemayel began a series of meetings on the formation of a new government of national unity, the state-run National News Agency reported.
