At least two people have been killed in renewed sectarian clashes in the northern Lebanese city of Tripoli.
Explosions and gunfire could be heard as Sunni supporters of the pro-Western government fought Alawite gunmen backing the Hezbollah-led opposition.
About 40 people were wounded, including two soldiers apparently caught in the crossfire.
