[PHOTOS+VIDEO] Cautious calm prevails in Beirut's al-Madina al Riyadiya

Cautious calm prevailed on Sunday in Beirut's al-Madina al Riyadiya region after the Lebanese Armed Forces deployed in the city that witnessed clashes between supporters of the head of the Arab Movement Shaker Berjawi and a hard-line group.

One person was killed and 13 people were wounded in clashes in south Beirut on Sunday between supporters of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and rival fighters, security sources said.      

The fighting broke out before dawn between gunmen loyal to Shaker Barjawi, a Sunni Muslim who supports the Syrian Alawite president, and Sunni Muslims who back the three-year uprising against Assad's rule.        

Residents heard the sound of loud gunfire and explosions coming from the Al-Gharbi district of southern Beirut, where Barjawi has an office.      

Security sources named the dead man as Khalil Nabil al-Hannash. Several other people including civilians, were wounded in the clashes, they said. The army later deployed in the area and the clashes appeared to subside.      

The fighting in Beirut follows a week of sustained violence in the northern city of Tripoli, where 27 people have been killed in fighting between Assad supporters and opponents which also sparked clashes with the Lebanese army.
