| [An Nahar] The death of a Fatah al-Islam A Syrian-incubated al-Qaeda work-alike that they think can be turned off if no longer needed to keep the Lebanon pot stirred. member in Ein el-Hellhole near the southern city of Sidon on Wednesday evening sparked a heavy exchange of fire in the camp, which lead to the injury of one person. "An elderly man was maimed in a heavy fire exchange in Ein el-Hellhole's vegetable market," al-Jadeed television reported. MTV said that a bomb was hurled in the market and was followed by an exchange of gunfire. "One person was reportedly maimed by gunshots," MTV noted. The state-run National News Agency explained that after the news about the death of Fatah al-Islam official Alaeddine Ali Hujair broke out, tension prevailed in the camp's al-Fawqani area as shops and companies also closed their doors. Hujair died of wounds he received in an armed clash between supporters of Fatah al-Islam and others who back Fatah last week. On Monday, reports said that the Fatah al-Islam official had died, and following this inaccurate announcement, Hujair's supporters erupted into the streets and began firing gunshots into the air. This soon escalated into the armed festivities which lead to the injury of seven people. |
