Syria troops kill three in clashes at Paleo camp
2008-10-10
Syrian security forces have killed three suspected "terrorists" in clashes at the Palestinian refugee camp in Yarmuk, south of Damascus, private Dunia television reported on Thursday. "A clash took place between security forces and presumed terrorist elements in the Yarmuk camp, and three of them were killed and one wounded," Dunia said, quoting witnesses.
Other television reports said that Iraqis and Saudis were among the suspected terrorists.
"One of the men, who was wearing an explosives belt, was overpowered by the Syrian security forces," the television added, saying calm had returned to the camp. The report did not say when the incident occurred.

Other television reports said that Iraqis and Saudis were among the suspected terrorists.

About 424,650 Palestinian refugees are registered in Syria. Half of them live in 13 camps spread around the country. The Yarmuk camp, about 15 kilometers south of the capital, is the largest with around 112,550 residents. On September 27, a car bomb exploded near a Shiite shrine in southern Damascus, killing 17 people and wounding 14 others, in one of the deadliest attacks in a dozen years.

#2  About 250,000 paleostains fled Israel in 1948, taking refuge in camps set up in Jordan, Syria, Lebanon, and Egypt. That was 60 years ago. The number of paleos in refugee camps has increased to at least 3 million, but they're STILL living in refugee camps. Ninety percent or more of them were not born in "palestine", but in their current country of residence. They can't become citizens, however, because that would eliminate the "right of return" that would totally destroy Israel. They're kept caged up by their Arab brothers, just to keep a feud alive. They can't hold jobs outside the camps, so the unemployment rate is 90% or more. Their primary purpose is to grow the next group of jihadis and terrorists to use to attack Israel. Oh, what lovely people the Arabs are...
