BEIRUT — Lebanese security forces killed two suspected Islamic militants Saturday, including the leader of an al-Qaeda-inspired group that fought a bloody battle against Lebanon’s army in 2007, two Lebanese military officials said.
A senior army official said one of those killed was Abdul-Rahman Awad, a Palestinian leader of the Fatah Islam group. Awad’s aide, Ghazi Faysal Abdullah, also was killed in the gunbattle in the town of Chtaura, in the eastern Bekaa Valley, the official said.
