Palestinians Want Hardliners Out of Lebanon Camp
[Reuters] Tom Perry - Parading at night in death shrouds and dealing out beatings for drunkenness, the Jund al-Sham group was unpopular with Palestinians in Ain al-Hilweh even before its clashes with Lebanese troops this week. Ain al-Hilweh is largely controlled by the Palestinian Fatah faction. "Jund al-Sham say that Fatah are infidels and the state are infidels and that they are the real Islam," said a Palestinian woman whose house neighbors that of Jund al-Sham activists. The militants would frequently go into the streets wearing explosive belts and black face masks and shout "to jihad" whenever they clashed with Fatah or others, she said.
