  • Story Text: Three people were slightly wounded on Friday during a
    march in northern Lebanon to protest against the killing of
    Palestinians by Israeli troops.



    The three were injured after supporters of two rival
    Muslim groups clashed in the port city of Tripoli because of
    an inter-communal feud.

    Thousands of Christian and Muslim demonstrators marched
    through the streets of Tripoli, shouting anti-Israeli and
    anti- U.S. slogans. "Allahu Akbar (God is greatest) and America
    is the biggest devil".

    More than 320 people, mostly Palestinians, have been
    killed in 11 weeks of clashes between Palestinians and Israeli
    troops.
