Lebanon's Army Pounds Islamic Militants

Islamic militants were hiding in a bombed-out Palestinian refugee camp sunday and Lebanon's army pounded them for the third straight day. Meanwhile fighting erupted outside another camp in the south, stoking fears of widespread violence breaking out in the country. There has been fierce fighting on the outskirts of the Nahr el-Bared camp in northern Lebanon since Friday when the Lebanese army, using tanks and artillery, launched an offensive to drive the Fatah Islam militants from their positions inside the settlement.
