Sunnis, Shiites in Lebanon sign reconciliation accord

By: Karim Tellawi

BEIRUT, Lebanon: Sunni and Shiite in northern Lebanon signed a reconciliation accord to restore state control to the northern port city of Tripoli, Lebanese media reported Tuesday.

For two months, the northern port city of Tripoli has witnessed fighting between Sunni militants loyal to the Western- backed ruling majority and members of the Alawiites sect who are loyal to the Hezbollah-led opposition.

The accord was signed in the home of Tripoli's Grand Mufti Sheikh Malek al-Shaar, who oversaw the talks between Prime Minister Fouad Seniora and political leaders from different factions in Tripoli.
