Five people were wounded by gunfire in separate overnight clashes in Beirut and east Lebanon and security sources reported Monday that assailants set a house on fire. The sources said three people were wounded when members of Speaker Nabih Berri's Amal movement fought it out with supporters of MP Saad Hariri's al Mustaqbal party in Beirut's Corniche Mazraa neighborhood. They were identified as Nabil Zaidan, Mohammed Omran and a third from the al-Tal family. Fighting soon quelled when army troops and police deployed in the area and dispersed the gunmen. Al Mustaqbal newspaper, however, said that Omran was kidnapped and brutally beaten by Amal members before they handed him to the army's intelligence. Omran, the paper said, is being treated at the military hospital. A separate quarrel took place in Beirut's Jnah district between members of the Abdel Hay family and others from the Salameh family that quickly developed into exchange of gunfire. Both families are supporters of Hizbullah. Security sources reported no casualties, but said a member of the Salameh family soon set the house of Bilal Abdel Hay in the nearby Ouzai neighborhood on fire. Security forces quickly stepped in and opened an investigation into the incident. Al Mustaqbal said security forces arrested 12 suspects. In the Western Bekaa Valley town of Mashghara, fighting between Amal gunmen and Hizbullah militants left two Amal members wounded, according to the sources.
