黎巴嫩首都冲突造成6人受伤

Lebanese security officials say at least six people have been wounded in clashes in southern Beirut, amid rising tensions following the assassination of a top security official.

Soldiers and tanks were deployed between Sunni and Shi\'ite neighborhoods in the capital\'s Kaskas district Monday, trying to bring calm to the area.

Separate fighting in the northern Lebanese city of Tripoli killed at least one person and wounded 10 others.

Meanwhile, a group of protesters has set up tents outside Lebanese Prime Minister Najib Mikati\'s office, vowing to remain there until he resigns.

The sit-in began late Sunday outside the building in central Beirut.  Earlier Sunday, Lebanese security forces fired their weapons into the air and used tear gas to disperse protesters who were trying to storm the building.

The demonstrators are demanding Mr. Mikati quit over the assassination of Brig. Gen. Wissam al-Hassan, a top intelligence official who died along with seven others in a car bombing Friday that many blame on the government in neighboring Syria.

Former Lebanese prime minister Saad Hariri and opposition leader Walid Jumblatt have both accused Syrian President Bashar al-Assad of being behind the blast.  Prime Minister Mikati\'s government is supported by Lebanon\'s pro-Syrian Hezbollah militia.

星期一，当局在首都喀斯卡斯区逊尼派和什叶派社区之间布署了军队和坦克，试图平息该地区势态。

另外在黎巴嫩北部城市的黎波里发生的冲突中至少有一人丧生，10人受伤。与此同时一群抗议人士在黎巴嫩总理米卡提办公室外搭起帐篷，誓言要坚持到总理辞职为止。

这次发生在贝鲁特市中心的静坐行动从星期日晚上开始。在此之前，黎巴嫩安全部队向空中开枪，并使用了催泪弹试图驱散聚集到这一办公楼外的抗议人群。

抗议者要求总理米卡提就高层情报官员哈桑准将遇刺一事引咎辞职。哈桑是高级情报官员，在上星期五的一次汽车爆炸事件中，他和其他七人遇难。很多人指责制造这一事件的是邻国叙利亚政府。

黎巴嫩前总理哈里里和反对派领导人琼布拉特都指责叙利亚总统阿萨德是爆炸事件的幕后指使者。总理米卡提的政府受到亲叙利亚的黎巴嫩真主党武装的支持。
