Beirut, 23 March-(ANA)-A roadside bomb in Lebanon has killed a senior Palestinian official and three others, said to be bodyguards, close to Mieh Mieh refugee camp near Sidon.
The bomb killed Kamal Medhat, deputy head of the PLO in Lebanon, but may have been aimed at the PLO's leader in the country, Abbas Zaki, sources said.
The blast blew one car off the road and badly damaged another, scattering burning debris.
There is no immediate indication of who may have been behind the attack.
Condemning it, Fahmi Zaarir, an official in Mr Medhat's Fatah faction, said: "We do not accuse anyone at this point but we confirm that it was a targeted assassination." (ANA)
