A Lebanese garbage collector was killed when a small bomb exploded near Ain Al Hilweh refugee camp in southern Lebanon. The bomb was concealed in a plastic bag about 30 metres from the camp on the outskirts of Sidon. Mustafa Batesh, 40, a died instantly when he tried to collect the bag. Ain Al Hilweh, Lebanon's largest refugee camp, is home to about 70,000 Palestinians and rival Palestinian factions. The camp, controlled by Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat's Fateh movement, has been rocked in the past by bomb explosions. The camp is off limits to Lebanese authorities.
Must be sad not to be in charge in your own country. Kinda hard on poor Mustafa, too. |
