AP, Beirut

Lebanese security officials say three days of sectarian fighting in Beirut have left 11 people dead and more than 20 wounded.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not allowed to speak to the media. The announcement came as violence continued in Beirut on Friday between Hezbollah supporters and those allied with Lebanon's pro-U.S. government.

Shiite Hezbollah gunmen seized control of several Beirut neighborhoods from Sunni foes loyal to the government.
