Car blown up in Lebanon


A bomb has wrecked a car parked in the Ain el-Hilweh Palestinian refugee camp in southern Lebanon.

It belonged to a member of Yasser Arafat's Fatah movement, Khaled Kurdiyeh.

There were no casualties.

Lebanese police say the bombing could have been related to an attack on Tuesday, when a member of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad group and his family were injured by a bomb which blew up their car in Sidon.
