Christian and Moslem militiamen, entrenched behind newly erected earth barricades, traded sniper fire and hurled grenades Saturday on the seventh day of sectarian fighting in the Lebanese capital. The thud of exploding rocket-propelled grenades and mortar rounds mingled with the crackle of rifle fire throughout the day, after fierce overnight tank and mortar exchanges killed four civilians and wounded 37 people, including three Lebanese soldiers. Police said a woman also died of wounds received earlier, bringing the toll in fighting in Beirut since last Sunday to 19 killed and 116 wounded.
