[An Nahar] Gunmen went on alert Monday in the One Big Hellhole Ain el-Hilweh Palestinian refugee camp near Sidon, after a member of the extremist Fatah al-Islam group was shot and wounded.
The incident also left a Palestinian passerby identified as Khaled Ahmed al-Masri dead and three other people wounded, state-run National News Agency reported.
"Fatah al-Islam official Bilal Bader, his brother Kamal, a child named Omar Akroum and an unidentified woman were wounded when an unknown assailant opened fire on them," NNA reported earlier on Monday.
