G27068805

(26 Jun 1988) QUOTE REF LEBANON/ALGERIA: Fierce fighting between pro-Yasser Arafat
GS27068805 Palestine Liberation Organisation guerillas and Syrian-backed
27.6.88 forces loyal to Abu Mousa's Fatah Uprising in Chatilla and
Bourj al-Barajneh refugee camps. In five weeks of fighting
over 100 have been killed and 500 wounded. In East Beirut
another car bomb injures 20 people and in South Beirut Syrian
forces move up to and surround, but do not dare attack, the
Hay Madi barracks, known as "hostage hotel", where it is
believed the Hezbollah militia are holding 15 western
hostages. Yasser Arafat visits President Benjedid Chadli of
Algeria, hoping that he will be able to persuade Syria to
restrain the Fatah Uprising guerillas and stop the fighting
in the Beirut refugee camps. Date Shot: 21/22/24/26.6.88
