Snipers from both sides were still deployed in flashpoint areas of the **rthern port city, as the fighting subsided on Monday for the first time in nearly two weeks. Tripoli has seen intense sectarian clashes since the war in neighbouring Syria erupted three years ago, with gunmen from the Sunni district of Bab al-Tebbaneh battling fighters in the Alawite area of Jabal Mohsen. "Twenty-six people have been killed in 12 days of fighting, and 135 others injured," the security source said, speaking on condition of a**nymity.
