Police officials in Lebanon say at least five people have been killed and dozens injured in heavy clashes between rival sectarian factions in the northern city of Tripoli.
The state-run National News Agency said the clashes between Sunni Muslim gunmen and Alawites broke out at dawn after a hand grenade was thrown toward a Sunni area. Sectarian violence linked to Lebanon's political troubles has killed at least 18 people in the past two months in the predominantly Sunni city.
