Masked gunmen on a motorcycle fatally wounded a Lebanese soldier Thursday in Tripoli, which has been regularly rocked by sectarian clashes linked to the conflict in Syria, the army said. Fadi Jbaili, a Sunni Muslim native of the **rthern port city, was shot in the Boulevard district as he walked to work at around 6:15 am (0415 GMT). Tripoli has been rocked by repeated violence linked to the Syria conflict, pitting its Sunni majority, who largely support the rebels, against the Alawite mi**rity, who back their co-religionist President Bashar al-Assad. The incident came a day after gunmen killed an Alawite, triggering renewed sectarian clashes that killed an 11-year-old boy in a Sunni neighbourhood.
