Lebanese Prime Minister-designate Najib Mikati called for restraint after the clashes LONDON: At least five people including three Hezbollah members were killed in Khalde, south of Beirut on Sunday when a funeral for a party member was ambushed. Several people were wounded in the exchange of fire in the Khalde area between members of the Lebanese Shiite group and Sunni residents, after a funeral for Ali Shibli was attacked. Shibli was killed the night before. Sectarian tensions have long flared in Khalde between the town"s mixed Shi"ite and Sunni residents. Footage of a video broadcast on Hezbollah"s Manar TV channel showed a volley of gunfire being fired on the convoy of mourners arriving at the home of Shibli. Iranian-backed Hezbollah urged the Lebanese authorities to pursue the culprits saying the incident reflected lawlessness and bigotry. Prime minister-designate Najib Mikati appealed for "restraint" and warned against confessional "discord".
