* Leba**n making most serious push so far to staunch Syria spillover * Car bombs, shootings have targeted Lebanese soldiers * Scores of Lebanese have died in Syria-linked violence * Sunnis in Tripoli anxious at Hezbollah power, question future By Alexander Dziadosz TRIPOLI, Leba**n, April 13 (Reuters) - For two weeks **w, the rifles have been silent along Syria Street in Leba**n's Tripoli, an area shot up so often that even memorial posters of men killed just a few months ago are speckled with bullet holes. Soldiers patrol quiet streets where gunmen used to fight day and night - part of the Lebanese authorities' most serious effort yet to contain spillover from Syria's civil war since the three-year-old conflict began in its much larger neighbour. "Traffic is returning, the area is coming back to life," said Ahmed Qashour, 57, raising his voice as armoured vehicles rumbled past the tahini sesame-paste shop where he works on Syria Street, in the **rth of the Mediterranean port city.
