The Internal Security Forces announced Friday the arrest of a Palestinian young man on charges of killing a Fatah al-Intifada official at the Shatila Palestinian refugee camp on Beirut's southern peripheries.
“Only hours after the crime on Thursday, and following investigations by the ISF's Intelligence Branch, the shooter was identified as M. Q., a 22-year-old Palestinian national,” the ISF said in a statement.
“He has confessed to committing the crime with an assault weapon and for personal motives,” it added.
“The probe is ongoing under the supervision of the relevant judicial authorities,” the ISF said.
Fatah al-Intifada official Ahmed Hazini, who was in charge of the so-called security committee at the Shatila camp, was found killed at dawn Thursday.
