The Lebanese army has deployed to halt two days of heavy sectarian fighting in the northern city of Tripoli.
Medical sources say the fighting between Sunnis and Alawites has killed nine people and wounded at least 68 more. In the past two months, at least 22 people have been killed in the predominantly Sunni city. The bouts of violence have been attributed to lingering disputes between the Sunni-led parliamentary majority bloc and a rival alliance led by Shi'ite Hezbollah, which is close to Alawite groups in the north.
