NAHR AL-BARED, Lebanon (Reuters) - Battles raged around a Palestinian refugee camp in north Lebanon on Friday, killing 14 people, as Lebanese troops tightened the noose around al Qaeda-inspired militants entrenched there. 

At least 12 people were killed inside Nahr al-Bared camp as well as two soldiers, security sources said. They said 18 soldiers were wounded but could not say whether the 12 who died inside Nahr al-Bared camp were militants or civilians.
