Arab foreign ministers in emergency session, have appealed for an immediate ceasefire between Lebanon's political rivals to end the country's worst civil strife since the end of the 1975-1990 civil war.
46 people have been killed and 128 wounded in recent fighting when Iranian- and Syrian-backed Hezbollah briefly seized control of Beirut after the pro-Western government's decision to target its military communications network. Despite relative calm returning to the capital Beirut after the army overturned the government's strategy, violence later erupted in mountains east of the city between Hezbollah fighters and supporters of the pro-government Druze sect leader, Walid Jumblatt.
