Supporters of the Tashnag party and others from the Amal Movement and Hezbollah clashed late Thursday during an incident that saw a man open fire in the Beirut suburb of Burj Hammoud. Security sources told The Daily Star Friday that the clash took place shortly after midnight near a Lebanese Red Cross center in Burj Hammoud. No casualties were reported. The sources said the windows of three cars were shattered during the brief clash. According to the Central News Agency, a group of men attacked a convoy of cars returning from a visit to the Burj Hammoud cemetery to honor Armenian martyrs. Tashnag Party leader Hovig Mekhitarian downplayed the incident and said the clash was a result of a personal dispute and that no political motives were involved. But Mekhitarian also said that calm returned to the area after the party made several contacts with Hezbollah and Amal Movement officials. From:The daily star
