Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat’s Fatah guerrillas exchanged fire with attackers in Ein el-Hilweh early Friday, and two dynamite sticks exploded elsewhere in the area, according to Palestinian officials.

Unidentified gunmen opened fire on the office of the mainstream Fatah group, in Lebanon’s largest refugee camp in the southern port city of Sidon. Guards returned fire, but no casualties were reported.
A dynamite stick exploded near the Association of Palestinian Women in the Teitaba neighborhood of the camp at dawn, and another explosive charge detonated near a social center. Damage was minor, said the officials. An Arafat loyalist was shot twice on Thursday, while a hand grenade exploded in an empty vegetable market inside the camp. |
