One person was killed and another wounded late Thursday in a dispute in east Lebanon between government supporters and backers of the Hizbullah-led opposition, security officials said. A quarrel about politics in Fakiha village 40 kilometers (25 miles) north of Baalbek turned violent, and a supporter of the opposition pulled a pistol on a member of ruling majority Saad Hariri's Future Movement, shooting him dead. Another member of the Western-backed majority was wounded, the sources said. No further details were available about the incident, which highlighted simmering tensions in Lebanon following a week of deadly violence and ahead of an Arab League-brokered dialogue set to begin in Qatar on Friday in a bid to heal long-running political divisions.(AFP)
