A senior Palestinian official with the mainstream Fatah Movement was killed on Tuesday in a car bombing in the southern city of Sidon.
Reports said that Fathi Zaidan was killed and two others were injured in the blast near Ain el-Hilweh Palestinian refugee camp.
Zaidan, who goes by the nom de guerre of Zoro, is the security official with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah group in Mieh Mieh camp.
The Internal Security Forces drew a tight dragnet and asked people to distance themselves from the blast scene to pave way for ambulances to transport the wounded.
