Lebanese troops shoot suspected suicide bomber

BEIRUT — A senior military official says troops shot and killed a suspected suicide bomber near Lebanon's largest Palestinian camp.

The official says a man suspected of wearing an explosive belt approached an army checkpoint just outside the Ein el-Hilweh Palestinian camp on the outskirts of the southern city of Sidon.

Troops opened fire and killed the man instantly, according to the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to talk to the media.

The army position had previously been targeted by Palestinian militants.
