Hundreds of Syrians are fleeing to Lebanon to escape sectarian killing targeting their Alawite community. Witnesses report seeing dead bodies and being trapped at home by heavy gunfire. More than 350 families have made the journey into Lebanon in recent days, according to local authorities. The violence began when Syria's Sunni Islamist-led government said its forces were attacked by remnants of the regime of Bashar al-Assad, an Alawite.
