Palestinian dies in Lebanon blast

A senior representative of Palestinian refugees in Lebanon has been killed in a bombing, security officials say.

Officials say Kamal Medhat of the Fatah faction was killed in a bombing outside Mieh Mieh refugee camp near Lebanon's southern port city of Sidon.

Lebanon's crowded and poorly-developed camps, housing families expelled from what became Israel in 1948, are prone to violent unrest and insecurity.

Two people were killed in a gun battle in Mieh Mieh camp on Saturday.

Details of Monday's incident are still coming in.
