| Islamist shoot each other up at Ain el-Hilweh... |
| 2002-08-05 |
| Four people were shot and wounded overnight as members of Islamist groups in Lebanon's Ain el-Hilweh refugee camp clashed over the handover of a suspected militant to Lebanon's army. They gunmen from a splinter faction of the obscure Islamist group Osbat al-Ansar opened fire late on Sunday on members of Hamas whom they suspected of helping Lebanese authorities arrest a man accused of killing three security officers last month. Think about the statement. That's one hell of a neighborhood, where Hamas represents the forces of lawnorder... The four were taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. Palestinian factions handed over Badie Hamadeh, whom Lebanese officials accused of links to Osbat al-Ansar, after he hid in the camp following the death of security officers during an attempt to arrest him in the southern port city of Sidon. This was three weeks ago. They're still shooting each other up. I've thought about Bigwig's suggestion for resettling the Paleostinians. I'd say no, thank you. We don't need this kind of stuff. |
