Dissident Palestinian guerril
las fought artillery and mortar
battles Tuesday with Yasser
Arafat’s troops in eastern Leba
non’s Bekaa Valley, rousting
Arafat loyalists from two towns
near the Syrian border.
Fighting broke out minutes
after the Revolutionary Council
of A1 Fatah — the mainline
guerrilla group of the Palestine
Liberation Organization — con
demned the PLO mutiny after
an all-night meeting in Damas
cus, Syria.
Lebanese police said machine
gun battles broke out between
the rebels and Arafat loyalists in
the Syrian-controlled half of the
Bekaa Valley early Tuesday and
quickly escalated into pitched
artillery and mortar duels.
“Mediation efforts to end the
mutiny within Fatah have
reached a dead end and heavy
fighting is now under way in the
Bekaa valley,” said A1 Fatah’s de
puty commander Khalil al
Wazir, better known by his nom
’d guerre Abu Jihad. Abu Jihad
said the Revolutionary Council
has given the Al Fatah Central
Committee “total freedom to
take the appropriate measures
to settle the matter.” He did not
elaborate.
Lebanese police officials said
the fighting between Arafat’s
followers and opponents was

hardest around the Bekaa Val
ley towns of Majd al Anjar,
Sweiri, Taanayel and Taalbaya
— close to the highway leading
to Damascus. Syrian troops and
tanks deployed around the
towns, but did not intervene to
stop the fighting, Lebanese
police said.
State-run Beirut radio said
Arafat’s opponents had gained
the upper hand, forcing their
rivals away from the main
Damascus highway.
Majd al Anjar and Sweiri are
three miles from the Syrian
frontier just off the main high
way, while Taanayel and Taal
baya are nine miles farther in
land. During the weekend, Ara
fat loyalists clashed with dissi
dent factions in the Bekaa Valley
in pitched battles that left 13
guerrillas dead. On Sunday, one
of Arafat’s top aides, Abu Ziad,
was wounded when fighting
broke out at a PLO training base
out of Damascus — the first time
the PLO mutiny had spread to
Syria.
Dissidents accuse Arafat of
growing “soft” on Israeli and
have called for stepped up milit
ary activity against Israeli troops
in Lebanon.
In a bid to quash to the revolt,
Arafat called a meeting of his
top guerrilla commanders and
Tuesday won the endorsement
of Al Fatah’s 73-member Re-
- -» -
volutionary Council.
The Revolutionary Council
said it “condemned the anti-
Arafat movement, and decided
to set up smaller committees to
look into possible reforms with
in Al Fatah.”
On Monday, seven Syrian sol
diers were killed in an ambush
on a military convoy near Tripo-
li, sparking a new round of
street fighting Monday in Leba
non’s second largest city be
tween rival Moslem militiamen.
Syrian troops sealed off Tri
poli, a port city 42 miles north of
Beirut, after the Monday
ambush by closing roads leading
to the city.
The violence in Tripoli, pit
ting pro-Syrian Alawite Moslem
militiamen against anti-Syrian
Sunni Moslem gunmen, broke
out Monday night and gained
intensity into early Tuesday.
