2 die in continuing internal violence
Islamic militants in Lebanon killed a soldier in a Palestinian refugee camp where violence has raged for three weeks, and a bombing in a Christian town killed at least one man.
Tensions have been high in Lebanon since fighting broke out May 20 between the army and Fatah al Islam militants in the Nahr el Bared camp, where the soldier was killed. There also have been clashes at the Ein el Hilwa camp in the south and several bombings in the Beirut area.
The bomb exploded in an industrial area in Zouq Mousbeh, 12 miles north of Beirut, security officials said. It set off fires in several buildings.
