A personal dispute between two religious figures in the Mount Lebanon's village of Baalchmay left one of the two men dead, media reports said on Saturday.
Reports said tension escalated in the area when a conflict between two religious sheikhs erupted near the municipality building killing one of the two men, Nidal al-Danaf.
The Progressive Socialist Party in the Metn area issued calls later, urging “residents of the town and dignitaries to help calm the tension and resort to wisdom.
"Legal proceedings will take their way and the state's security agencies will handle the matter to bring the perpetrator to justice," they assured.
