A masked gunman opened fire outside the home of a Fatah official in Lebanon's largest Palestinian refugee camp on Thursday, seriously wounding his younger brother, camp security sources said. The likely intended target was Jamil Zeidan, a military official with Palestinian President Yasser Arafat's Fatah movement. He remained inside the house in the Ein el-Hilweh refugee camp and was not injured. The gunman shot at Jamil's younger brother Osama Zeidan and a group of guards outside the house, hitting Osama in the head and neck. The guards returned fire, but the gunman escaped unhurt. Osama Zeidan, 29, was taken to hospital in the nearby southern port city of Sidon. It was the second time in less than a month that the home of the Zeidan family had been shot at.
I guess that means that somebody has "issues" with Jamil. |
