The International Red Cross helps Australian-Palestinians, who were visiting family in the Nahr al-Bared refugee camp, retrieve their belongings in northern Lebanon May 30, 2007. Jihadists battling the Lebanese army in north Lebanon were either on their way to or from Iraq, Palestinian political sources believe, a sign that the shadow of Sunni militancy there has started to fall over Arab countries nearby. Many of the Fatah al-Islam militants had originally come to Lebanon to train for Iraq, the main front for al Qaeda in its battle with the United States, a Palestinian source in Lebanon said. Some had already fought there.
