(ANSAmed) - BEIRUT, JULY 2 - The Syrian Moslem Brothers Sunni group, banned by the Baath regime of Alawite President Bashar Assad, warned that confessional confrontations in neighbouring Lebanon may well spread into Syria, a Lebanese daily reported. "We prefer not to talk about civil-war in Syria and hope we could avoid it, but the confessional confrontations in Lebanon may spread to neighbouring countries," al-Mustaqbal quoted Zuheir Salem, spokesman for the Moslem Brothers, as saying. Salem called for solving the Sunni-Alawite cleavage which erupted into street battles in northern Lebanon last month, killing nine people, before army troops deployed and ended the fighting. The army, however, made no arrests and no arms were seized and, in the absence of a political accord, it is feared that violence might restart any time. Salem blamed Lebanon's Shiite Hezbollah, which crushed its Sunni foes in Beirut in early May for the "confessional exacerbation" in the country, warning the behaviour of the guerrilla organisation which is backed by Syria and Iran "will lead to a sectarian deflagration." Syriàs Baath regime, controlled by the minority Alawite Moslem minority, banned the Moslem Brothers after it crushed a rebellion in Hama city in 1982, killing thousands of people. (ANSAmed).
