Lebanon on a simmering boil !



Lebanon is slowly but surely heading into the danger zone of a civil war as fresh clashes broke out between the lebanese army and the militant group Fatah islam.this islamic militant group is holed up in one of the many palestinian refugee camps in lebanon.ironically these camps were set up by the Lebanese for the palestinian refugees
fleeing as a result of Israel incursions.and now it seems that Lebanon may have bitten more than it could have chewed.what is worrying many of the security advisors of the current government is the rapid pace with which this new "intifadaa" is spreading across the multitude of refugee camps.it all started with the Palestinian refugee camp of Nahr el-Bared,and recently a U.N convoy was hit as it was caught in the crossfire bewtween theLebanese army and the Fatah group.the third truce which was declared bewteen the two groups did not even last one whole hour before it was broken all over again.in all of this i should guess that Israel may be feeling a little smug as they had faced this militant groups many many times and Lebanon had always downplayed any objections the israeli's may have raised in the international fora vis-a-vis militancy!
