Purported Fatah al-Islam leader vows to fight Americans, Jews

A purported leader of the militant Fatah al-Islam group, which has been battling the Lebanese army in a Palestinian refugee camp in Lebanon, vowed on Saturday to fight "the Americans and the Jews".

Al Jazeera television, which broadcast the videotaped message, identified the man as Shaker al-Abssi and said it was the Palestinian's first public appearance.

"We say to you, the guardians of the American project, the Sunni people will be leaders in fighting the Jews, the Americans and their loyalists," Abssi said, referring to Lebanese leaders.
