Lebanon

Taha al-Hajj Suleiman, a “dangerous” member of Fatah al Islam, escaped from the high-security Roumieh prison in eastern Beirut. Seven other members of the group, including the chief spokesman, were captured while attempting to escape. The Fatah al Islam members were captured during the 2007 assault on the Nahr el Bared Palestinian refugee camp.
