Lebanese troops clashed with gunmen Thursday in a mainly Sunni Muslim area near the Syrian border where there was deadly fighting with rebels from over the frontier in early August. Hundreds of terrified civilians fled the town of Aarsal, a mainly Sunni enclave within Lebanon's largely Shiite Bekaa Valley which is hosting tens of thousands of Sunni refugees from Syria. An AFP correspondent reported that the fighting was still raging in late afternoon, with troops shelling the gunmen who had taken up positions on the outskirts of Aarsal. The military said in a statement that the fighting erupted when an army vehicle with five soldiers on board was ambushed at around 11:00 am. http://yhoo.it/1u5WYYB http://bit.ly/1fJ5yqZ
