JIHAD WATCH:Power supply hit as fighting rages at Lebanon camp

Lebanese artillery blasted Islamist positions inside a Palestinian refugee camp on Saturday as ongoing fighting prevented repair teams from reaching a nearby power plant knocked out by Katyusha rocket fire.A woman in the village of Deir Ammar where the power station is located,4 kms(two and a half miles)from the Nahr al-Bared camp,was wounded by another rocket fired by the militants on Saturday, police said.
Heavy shelling ignited fires within Nahr al-Bared, north of Tripoli,after earlier exchanges of small arms fire,an AFP correspondent said.An army spokesman said troops were advancing on the positions of the Fatah al-Islam fighters,who have been holed up in Nahr al-Bared for more than 11 weeks."The army continued its advance inside the camp and seized three buildings and a tunnel dug by Fatah al-Islam,"he said.
Lebanon's electricity authorities said repair teams had been unable to reach the power plant at Deir Ammar,closed since Thursday after being struck by Katyusha rockets fired by the
militants,"for security reasons.""Repair teams fled on Friday after another rocket hit the fence of the power station,"Deir Ammar municipality chief administrator Ahmad Eid told AFP.Loss of production at the 400-megawatt facility,one of the main power stations in northern Lebanon, has exacerbated shortages in the country,where six-hour power cuts are being experienced everywhere except in Beirut's administrative zone.Production at Deir Ammar had already been reduced because the fighting at Nahr al-Bared has prevented ships from delivering oil to the facility.Most of the camp's 31,000 residents have fled since the May 20 eruption of the fighting which has killed at least 200 people,including 128 soldiers.The only civilians remaining are around 60 women and children related to the Fatah al-Islam fighters.The army has accused the Islamists of using them as human shields,but other sources have said they are staying willingly.
