 Students for and against the government hurled rocks and furniture at each other today as Lebanon's power struggle turned violent on a university campus, security officials said. Hezbollah's Al-Manar television said one of the militant group's supporters was killed, but security officials could not immediately confirm the death.
Security officials said at least 17 people were injured. Other TV stations reported that about 25 people were hurt. Soldiers firing shots in the air dispersed the rioters at the Beirut Arab University in the Tarik el-Jadideh neighbourhood, the officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity. Red Cross ambulances took the injured to hospital.
