Two people have been killed in a gunbattle between members of the Fatah faction and Sunni Islamist militants at a Palestinian refugee camp in south Lebanon.
A man was shot while trying to intervene to halt the clash at Ein al-Hilweh camp between Fatah and a small al-Qaeda-inspired Islamist group.
The other dead man was a member of Jund al-Sham; the al-Qaeda group.
Another Jund al-Sham fighter was seriously wounded in the fighting at the camp, which is near the city of Sidon in southern Lebanon.
Sunni Islamist groups have substantial influence in the camp, which is off limits to Lebanese security forces.

If not Isreal then the US CIA, US foreign policy makers, the Boy Scouts and anyone else they can point a dirty finger at........With their mentality, maybe the world should just let them all kill themselves off to save the world the problem later...........
