#3 A few more details:
Palestinian officials said two unidentified gunmen fired more than 15 shots at Mohammed Shreidi, an extremist whose late father, Hisham Shreidi, was the founder of the Asbat al-Ansar group. Beirut press reports have linked the group to Osama bin Laden's al-Qaida network and Washington claims there is a connection. Its members, however, deny any links to al-Qaida.
The elder Shreidi was assassinated in Ein el-Hilweh in 1991. Mohammed's brother, Abdullah Shreidi, led the extremist al-Nour faction, an Islamic fundamentalist group that split from Asbat al-Ansar, which also urges strict Islamic rule. He died in July from wounds suffered in a May assassination attempt.
Mohammed Shreidi, Hisham Shreidi's only remaining son, was a member of al-Nour and had been blamed for several bombings and violent acts in Ein el-Hilweh. He had been warned several times to curtail his activities by Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat's mainstream Fatah faction in the camp. The attack took place around 1:30 a.m. local time as Shreidi was returning to his home in the camp's Safsaf neighborhood, a hotbed of Palestinian Muslim extremists. Shreidi was already dead when his bullet-ridden body was taken to a hospital in the camp, the officials said on condition of anonymity.

I love a happy ending.
