AIN EL-HELWEH, Lebanon, June 2 (IslamOnline & News Agencies) - Head of the Palestinian Fatah movement in the Ain Helweh refugee camp in south Lebanon, accused Sunday Israeli intelligence forces of a failed attempt on his life.

A hand grenade was lobbed Sunday at the house of the Palestinian leading activist in south Lebanon, a Palestinian source said, reported Agence France-Presse (AFP).

The explosive was hurled at the front of Mounir Maqdah's home, causing no casualties. However, the grenade damaged a room used by his bodyguards.

Maqdah, who was not home at the time of the attack, told AFP that Israel's intelligence services could be behind the attack and said an investigation has been opened.

His group counts as the armed local wing of Yasser Arafat's Fatah movement.

Miqdah said in the last few months that he was training his fighters to launch bomb attacks on Israel and recently the Israeli press was reproducing his declarations.
