Oh, no, back to that shit again

The New York Times has an article about a bus bombing in Tripoli, thus reigniting the smouldering war in Lebanon: "Lebanon has suffered a wave of bombings in recent years, including the 2005 killing of the former prime minister Rafik Hariri, which led to political upheaval in the country. However, the attack Wednesday was the first large-scale bombing in months... After the bombing Wednesday, suspicions turned again on Fatah al Islam, made up of radical Sunnis inspired by Al Qaeda. However, sectarian violence has also struck Tripoli recently, pitting Sunnis against Alawites, a small offshoot of Shiite Islam. Clashes between gunmen from the two sides have left at least 22 people dead since June, and the army has deployed in the city to halt the bloodshed.
