BEIRUT, Lebanon – Army troops are making "significant" gains in their
long-running battle against al-Qaida-inspired fighters barricaded
inside a Palestinian refugee camp in northern Lebanon, security
officials said Tuesday.

But a senior military official, who spoke on condition of anonymity
because he is not authorized to speak to the media, said four soldiers
were killed in fighting Monday. The body of a missing soldier also has
been found, he said.

The latest deaths raise to 103 the army’s death toll since the fighting broke out nearly two months ago.
