The leader of the Fatah al-Islam group was not among fighters killed by Lebanese troops at a refugee camp this month and may have escaped, Lebanon’s public prosecutor has said.
Shaker al-Abssi was believed to have been killed fleeing Nahr al-Bared when troops seized control of the camp on September 2 after a 15-week battle.
The fighting near Tripoli in north Lebanon killed more than 400 people and left the Palestinian refugee camp in ruins. Nahr al-Bared was home to about 40,000 before fighting erupted on May 20.
Meanwhile, international donors on Monday pledged about $20m in aid for those displaced by the conflict.

Asalamu Aleekum,
Not long ago,the Isreal’i IDF forces invaded and bombarded Lebanon.I remember quite well when an Israeli General said that they will bombard Beirut to the stone ages.
Even though Lebanon was invaded and was being bombarded by Israelis,the Lebanese armed forces never lifted a finger and thus it was all Hizbollah that was fighting.Now that the Lebanese Army couldn’t do a thing about the Israeli aggression in their own soil,they resorted to bombard , massacre and slaughter poor Palestinian refugees in a camp under the pretext of fighting Islamic extremists.
Even though the Palestinians were labeled as a radical movement, Since when did Islam have Moderates and Radicals?Aren’t Muslims supposed to be Muslims,the followers of Allah’s noble book ,the Quran and the Hadith and the sunnah of the Prophet?How can any one just brand the invented Neo-con terminologies,terms which do not even carry relevance to the context of Islam?
What amazes me is the Tough Muscles that the Lebanese Army Showed for these Refugees and what made it lack these same muscles when their country was being invaded from both land and air.Its sad to see how the weak are stumbled upon just so as to please Uncle Sam.Where was ‘Uncle’ when Prime Minister Seniora was shedding tears before the whole world? Wasn’t he busy vetoing what ever plea the international community had for Lebanon at the United Nations?
