Refugee camps breed new generation of guerrillas
Refugee camps in Lebanon and neighboring states are yielding a new cohort of militant Palestinians drawn to hardline factions. Mohammed Sarhan, sole survivor of the Rome airport attack, hailed from Beirut’s Chatilla camp, which has long housed refugees amid wars and crackdowns. Western and regional officials say Abu Nidal’s group has recruited in these camps, fueling regional violence and undermining peace efforts. The UNRWA-supplied camps suffer overcrowding and unemployment as funds wane, deepening despair and radicalization.
