Fighting erupts in Liberian capital
The Associated Press
One U.S. Marine was grazed — possibly by a cartridge from his own weapon — but required no medical attention, said two senior defense officials in Washington who spoke on the condition of anonymity.
U.S. Marines kill three men who threaten embassy
At an army barracks a few blocks from the embassy, the floor of a clinic was awash in blood as scores
The shootings, the first exchange of gunfire involving U.S. troops since Liberia's civil war reigned in early April, came as new factional fighting left the 10-day-old, U.S.-brokered truce in tatters.
MONROVIA, Liberia — U.S. Marine guards shot and killed three Liberians firing toward the U.S. embassy yesterday as fierce battles engulfed the capital, littering its streets with bodies a day after a cease-fire collapsed.

of victims were carried in or dragged themselves through the door. Doctors said at least three people had died and 60 were wounded.
Defense officials in Washington said that in separate incidents at the embassy three Liberians were killed and one wounded by U.S. Marine gunfire.
The fighting violates an April 19 truce negotiated by peacekeepers, warlords, government officials and foreign diplomats, including the U.S. ambassador.
Fire from mortars, machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades echoed through the city, forcing George Moose, the U.S. assistant secretary of state for African affairs, to cancel talks at the embassy with government peacekeepers and factional leaders.
day's fighting was the worst he had seen in the city.
More than 2,000 people have been evacuated, and about 30 people were awaiting airlift from the embassy yesterday.
Moose, in a telephone interview from the embassy, warned of a major catastrophe if the fighting continued. He blamed warlord-turned-politician Charles Taylor, whose standoff with a rival on April 6 provoked two weeks of warfare culminating in the cease-fire.
"Taylor will be responsible." Moose said. "If he persists in taking power, he should expect a strong international reaction."
In all, the Marines counted four separate shooting incidents beginning in late afternoon.
In Monrovia's Mamba Point diplomatic section, where the embassy is located, rival factions battled for control through the afternoon. At least nine bodies were scattered on the streets of the beachfront neighborhood.
Pentagon representative kevm Bacon said that the most serious exchange took place at a guard post near U.S. Ambassador William Milam's residence.
Taylorwill be held responsible. Ifhe persists in taking power, he should expect a
strong
international reaction."
It was unclear whether those killed died while fighting or were caught in crossfire.

Similar chaos spread across the capital. Chawki Bsaibes, a Lebanese businessman who runs the Mamba Point Hotel, said yester-
Liberia's war began in 1989 when Charles Taylor led his rebel army against the dictatorship of President Samuel Doe. Doe was toppled and executed by a rival faction, and the war continued among several different groups.
