Palestinian fighters of the Fatah al-Islam group read their Koran at a training field in Nahr al-Bared refugee camp in northern Lebanon March 23, 2007. The group founder, Shaker al-Abssi, has come under the spotlight in Lebanon since November when he and 200 fighters broke off from the pro-Syrian Fatah Uprising group and founded their own faction: Fatah al-Islam. The group quickly earned notoriety and was alternately linked to al Qaeda and Syria, raising fears that Lebanon could witness large-scale attacks on Western and other targets.
