United Press International
BEIRUT, Lebanon — Druze Mos
lem gunmen in the hills around Bei
rut battled army troops Sunday in
the worst fighting in months, with
shellfire hitting residential areas of
the divided city amid a widening rift
within the coalition government.
Radio reports said at least six peo
ple were wounded as the army and
Druze militiamen in the Shouf
mountains southeast of the city ig
nored two cease-fire calls and traded
artillery, tank and rocket barrages.
The fighting broke a July 4 truce
mediated by Syria that ended five
months of continuous cross-city ar
tillery exchanges. It also led to a dis
engagement of rival Christian and
Moslem militias along the Green
Line dividing the city’s sectarian sec
tors.
The shelling was the heaviest
since June 11 — known as Black
Monday — when at least 105 people
were killed and more than 350
wounded in a frenzy of mortar and
artillery fire between Christian and
Moslem gunmen.
Sunday’s fighting began after
publication of statements by Moslem
opposition leaders Walid Jumblatt
and Nabih Berri, who threatened to
resign their Cabinet posts to protest
the Christian-dominated govern
ment’s failure to agree on ways to
give the country’s Moslem majority a
larger share of power.
In statements carried by Beirut
media, Berri, the minister for south
Lebanon and reconstruction, and
Jumblatt, the minister of tourism,
blamed the impasse on President
Amin Gemayel, a Christian.
The crashes of exploding shells
rolled across Beirut from the Shout,
where radio reports said army
troops and militiamen of Jumblatt’s
Druze Progressive Socialist Party ex
changed furious tank, rocket and ar
tillery fire.
A spokesman for a multi-factional
cease-fire committee said officials
counted at least 84 explosions from
shells fired into Moslem west Beirut
and the Christian eastern side. Resi
dents in both sectors fled to ever-re-
ady basement shelters.
The radio of the Mourabitoun, a
Sunni Moslem militia, accused the
rightist Christian Phalange militia of
shelling Moslem neighborhoods,
while the Christian Voice of Leb
anon radio said Druze gunners in
the Shouf were firing into Christian
areas in the city.
An army statement said govern
ment troops in Souk El Gharb, a
strategic town in the Shouf about
seven miles southeast of Beirut, had
been under fire “and efforts to se
cure and spare the lives of the inno
cents have not produced any fruits.”
Berri and Jumblatt have boy
cotted meetings of Lebanon’s “na
tional unity” Cabinet of Moslem and
Christian warlords and their threats
to resign was another signal of their
dissatisfaction with the deadlock
over political and military reforms.
“Amin Gemayel is against the
elimination of confessionalism in
politics, in other words he is against
giving citizens their rights and
against the application of equity
among the various communities,”
said Berri, head of the Shiite Mos
lem militia known as Amal.
He said he will decide on whether
to quit the Cabinet after talks with
Syrian officials and Amal officials.
