The moderate newspaper Al Quds declared that there was no difference between last year's massacre of some 700 Arabs by Lebanese Christian militiamen in the outskirts of Beirut and "the massacres now being perpetrated by Syria and its Palestinian helpers." Another paper, Al Sha'ab, mocked the Syrian mobilization of reserves, asking, "If you have something serious to fear, why are you still bombarding the Palestinian camps...
...oasis town of Faya-Largeau, which fell to Goukouni's Libyan-supported rebels two weeks ago after a ten-day bombardment by Libyan aircraft, Libya was resupplying its 3,000-man garrison.
