BEIRUT, Lebanon(AP)
Police say gunmen have killed two people and wounded two others
in a shooting targeting a funeral procession in a Sunni
neighborhood in Beirut.
The violence comes as Lebanon is experiencing the worst
sectarian strife since a 15-year civil war ended in 1990.
Saturday's shooting occurred a day after Shiite Hezbollah
gunmen took over large swaths of Sunni neighborhoods in
Beirut's Muslim sector.
An Associated Press photographer who saw the shooting says the
attack happened while a group of 200 people headed toward a
cemetery to bury a 24-year-old. The man was killed by a
sniper's bullet in this week's clashes.
The shooting came as the rest of the capital appeared calmer
Saturday.
