A wanted Lebanese militant holed up inside a Palestinian refugee camp was handed over Tuesday to the Lebanese army to end days of standoff, the official NNA news agency reported.

The wanted man is accused of killing three Lebanese intelligenceagents last Thursday night near the Ain Helweh refugee camp in the southern city of Sidon.

Lebanese army blocked most of the entrances of the camp with tanks and armored personnel carriers to force the surrender of the culprit.

Lebanese Interior Minister Elias Murr said, "there is no solution but to hand over the murderer. Otherwise, Lebanese army will gradually take harsh measures to close all the camp's entrances."

A Palestinian group called Usbat Al Ansar, or the League of Partisans, Tuesday morning handed over Badieh Hamadeh, also known as Abu Obeida, to a checkpoint of Lebanese army outside the entrance of the camp.

Local reports say Abu Obeida,25, is an activist of Usbat Al Ansar, which is on the US list of international terrorist organizations.

The group was reported to have connection with Osama bin Laden'sAl Qaida network.
