Heavy gunfire/mortar fire breaks out in Tripoli, lebanon!!

Quote: Lebanese supporters and opponents of Syrian President Bashar Assad fired heavy machine guns and lobbed mortar shells at each other Thursday in some of the worst fighting in the port city of Tripoli in years. The battles raised the five-day death toll to 16 and fed fears of the Syrian civil war spreading to Lebanon and other neighboring countries. The violence also added to the urgency to U.S.-Russian efforts to bring both sides of the Syrian conflict to a peace conference in Geneva. Members of the Syrian opposition began three day meetings in Istanbul to hash out a unified position on whether to attend, while maintaining that Assad's departure from power should be the goals of the negotiations. Lebanon has been on edge since the uprising in Syria began in March 2011. The country, which is still struggling to recover from its own 15-year civil war, is sharply divided along sectarian lines and into pro and anti-Assad camps. The overt involvement by the Iranian-backed Hezbollah Shiite militant group alongside Assad's regime has sparked outrage among many Sunnis in Lebanon who identify with the overwhelmingly Sunni rebels fighting to topple Assad. Deadly sectarian street fighting has erupted on several occasions, mostly in Tripoli, Lebanon's largest city and a hotbed for Sunni Islamists. This week's fighting there has been linked to a Syrian regime offensive against the rebel-held city of Qusair in western Syria that has inclu ...

Cops Exchange Gunfire with Gang Member

A massive police response to southeast Fresno Wednesday afternoon caught the attention of residents. Their neighborhood was locked down after bullets zipped across streets. No one was struck by bullets. Investigators say it began with two Fresno Police detectives who were on duty but not in uniforms riding in an unmarked car. They spotted a group of four young men walking in the area of Third St. and Ventura. They were wearing what appeared to be gang clothing and one of them was reportedly holding a gun. “As the officers prepared to contact them the suspect armed with a firearm turned and fired that gun at the detectives,” said Fresno Police Chief Jerry Dyer. Officers returned fire and then chased the group down Third Street to El Monte Way. Backup units surrounded a few homes they had run toward. Then with guns drawn, officers searched the properties. “We were able to locate not only the suspect armed with the firearm, but also the three other suspects that were with him. We also located the gun fired by the suspect in one of the backyards,” said Chief Dyer. The accused shooter is a 21-year old Bond St. Bulldog gang member. He now faces two counts of attempted murder of a peace officer. Francisco Torres is upset by this behavior. “I'm tired of seeing all this gang banging, violence and tagging everywhere up and down the street I go. There ain't any need for that. People need to grow up already. Just get ou ...

Jerusalem—Tensions have risen along Syria’s now-volatile southern border with Israel after an exchange of artillery fire in the Golan Heights. The flare-up came as Syrian forces battled to regain control of the strategic border town of Qusayr inside Syria. The Israel Defence Force returned fire into Syria after a military jeep was damaged by shots fired by Syrian armed forces overnight, prompting both countries to lodge a complaint with the UN. It is the latest in a string of cross border incidents that have led to rising tensions in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, peaking earlier this month when Israel launched air strikes inside Syria, allegedly on advanced weapons bound for Hezbollah. -snip- And while some analysts say the Syrian Government has made significant progress in its attempt to regain as much opposition-held ground as possible before US and Russia-backed peace talks scheduled for next month, others say it is simply part of the constantly shifting fortunes of the conflict. ‘‘The Assad regime is regaining ground,’’ said one Syria analyst who did not want to be named. ‘‘If things continue as they are now it is quite possible that Assad will stay in power.’‘ Others urged caution in analysing the last three days of battle, with Mona Yacoubian, a senior Middle East advisor at the Washington-based Stimson Centre warning Syria would likely continue to be trapped in a ‘‘deadly stalemate’‘. ‘‘To view this as a turning point ...
