Aid workers die in Lebanon clash
Two Lebanese Red Cross workers have been killed outside a Palestinian refugee camp where troops are battling Islamist fighters, officials have said.
The pair were evacuating civilians when they were hit by either machine gun or shell fire from the Nahr al-Bared camp.
A Palestinian cleric, who had been trying to broker a truce, was wounded in the leg in a separate incident.
Earlier, the army fired artillery shells at militants from Fatah al-Islam entrenched in the camp near Tripoli.
At least 11 people were killed in clashes near the camp over the weekend.
Lebanese troops have been trying to crush the radical Islamist group since fighting first broke out in the camp on 20 May.
Some 3,000 civilians are still thought to be inside the camp, which contained an estimated 30,000 people before the violence began.
The fighting, which has left more than 120 people dead, is the worst internal strife in Lebanon since the end of its civil war 17 years ago.
