"And I have found both freedom and safety in my madness, the freedom of loneliness and the safety from being understood, for those who understand us enslave something in us. But let me not be too proud of my safety. Even a Thief in a jail is safe from another thief. "

Shootout erupts in Ain al-Hilweh after son of notorious Islamist wounded- Daily Star

SIDON, Lebanon: Three were wounded Thursday at shootout in the Ain al-Hilweh Palestinian refugee camp, which erupted after the son of a notorious Islamist was shot by a rival faction.
Youssef Bilal al-Arqoub was critically wounded when he was shot by Khaled Alaaeddine, also known as al-Khomeini, in the camp’s Safsaf neighborhood.
A Palestinian source told The Daily Star that Arqoub’s family responded by firing snipers in the neighborhood, leading to a shootout that left three wounded.
The incident happened just minutes after the new United Nations special coordinator for Lebanon Jan Kubis concluded his first visit to Ain-al-Hilweh, the largest Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon.
Arqoub, believed to be affiliated with fundamentalist Islamist groups, is the son of Bilal Arqoub, a militant with ties to Al-Qaeda.
