TRIPOLI, Leba**n, March 28 (Reuters) - Masked gunmen shot dead a policeman on Friday in the **rthern Lebanese city of Tripoli, security sources said, the second killing of a member of the security forces in two days. Friday's shooting came a day after Prime Minister Tammam Salam's new cabinet approved a security plan for the city, where at least 29 people have been killed in the last two weeks. The security sources said Boutros Bayaa was killed instantly when the gunmen opened fire on his car at around 5:30 a.m. (0330 GMT), hitting him in the head. The violence in Leba**n, still recovering from its 1975-190 civil war, has been fuelled by the civil war in neighbouring Syria, where mostly Sunni rebels are battling to topple Alawite President Bashar al-Assad.
