One dead as clashes rock Palestinian camp in Lebanon

One civilian was killed and four wounded on Tuesday in fierce clashes that rocked Lebanon's largest Palestinian refugee camp for the sixth day, a medical source told AFP. The fighting in Ain al-Hilweh near Lebanon's southern port city of Sidon has pitted members of Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas's Fatah movement against hard-line Islamist groups. Even as factions declared a cease-fire from the Palestinian embassy in Beirut, plumes of smoke could be seen rising from the camp on Tuesday, AFP's correspondent said.
