Beirut: Lebanon's militant Hezbollah group has signed a deal with Sunni groups to defuse sectarian tension in the country.

More than 100 people have died in sectarian fighting in Lebanon so far this year.

Monday's agreement prohibits any Muslim group from attacking fellow Muslims.

It was signed by Hezbollah and some Salafist groups, followers of a radical form of Sunni Islam.
