Government security policemen patrolled slums in the northern city of Tripoli today in a new effort to enforce a cease-fire between warring pro-Syrian and anti-Syrian Moslem militia forces, the state radio reported.
The radio said the first unit of the paramilitary security force entered Tripoli's slum neighborhood of Kubbeh in the late afternoon and reinforcements were expected to follow later.
The police were deployed after Hisham Shaar, chief of Lebanon's internal security forces, met in Tripoli with Syria's deputy chief of staff, Brig. Gen. Ali Aslan, and said militiamen had agreed to leave the streets by sundown.
