Beirut - The Lebanese army took full control on Sunday of a Palestinian camp where it has been battling Islamist militants for more than three months, a senior security source said.

"The battle is over. The Lebanese army has seized the last positions of Fatah al-Islam in the camp," the source told Reuters, in reference to the Nahr al-Bared camp in north Lebanon.

"Most of the terrorists were killed today (on Sunday) and the others have been captured.

A few might have escaped, but the army is hunting them down," the source added.
