BEIRUT, June 2 (Reuters) - Two Lebanese soldiers were killed overnight in fighting between Lebanese troops and Islamist militants at a Palestinian refugee camp in north Lebanon, security sources said on Saturday.

The sources said the soldiers were killed when their armoured vehicle was hit by a rocket propelled grenade near the Nahr al-Bared camp where Lebanese troops have been battling the al-Qaeda inspired Fatah al-Islam militants for two weeks.
