Two killed during clashes in Lebanon's capital
At least two people have been killed and 18 injured in clashes overnight in the Lebanese capital Beirut.
The clashes, between Sunni pro- and anti-Syrian groups, followed the shooting dead on Sunday of two anti-Syrian clerics.
The violence is the first in Beirut since the conflict began in neighbouring Syria in March last year.
