Wanted bomb maker killed by Lebanese army in shootout
 

A suspected bomb-maker died of his wounds after he was shot by Lebanese soldiers trying to arrest him at a house in a border town near Syria, security sources said. Sami Al-Atrash was suspected by authorities of preparing car bombs to plant in Shi'ite areas and coordinating rocket attacks on Shi'ite towns in retaliation for Lebanese militant Shi'ite group Hezbollah's role in Syria. Hezbollah has sent fighters into Syria to support President Bashar al-Assad fight a majority Sunni revolt, deepening sectarian woes in Leba**n, which suffered its own civil war from 1975 to 1990. Lebanese Sunni militants have also joined forces with Syrian rebels to attack Hezbollah in Leba**n.
