On August 7, 2007 (June 25, 2007), the No. 2 figure of "Fatah al-Islam" was killed by the Lebanese security forces. According to Lebanese media reports on August 7, 2007, Abu Hurrera, the No. 2 figure of "Fatah al-Islam", which was designated as a terrorist organization by the Lebanese government, was killed by the Lebanese security forces last week. The report quoted Lebanese Interior Minister Hassan Saba as saying that Hurrera and other "Fatah al-Islam" militants launched an attack on a security forces checkpoint in Tripoli, northern Lebanon, last week. The security forces responded and killed Hurrera. His body has been identified by the arrested accomplices. According to well-informed sources, Hurrera escaped from the Nahr el-Bared refugee camp near Tripoli shortly after the Lebanese army began clearing the "Fatah al-Islam" militant group in May. But later, Hurrera returned to Tripoli and led a crowd to launch attacks on the Lebanese military and police. The Lebanese army has clashed with the "Fatah al-Islam" militant group in and around the Nahr al-Bared refugee camp since May 20, which has so far killed more than 200 people. This is the worst armed conflict since the end of the Lebanese civil war in 1990. On July 25, in the Nahr al-Bared refugee camp in northern Lebanon, the Lebanese government shelling hit the site of billowing smoke.
