By The Associated Press
Tags: Palestinian Authority, Nablus 

Witnesses and security officers say the Palestinian governor of the Nablus region got a hot welcome when he visited a refugee camp next to the city.

They say Palestinians opened fire on the official's car, wounding four people.

The governor, whose name is Jamal Muhaisen, ran into a house in the Balata camp to take cover.

Palestinian police whisked him out of the camp, but not before residents of the camp set his car on fire.

After the incident Sunday, Palestinian security officers could not say who the attackers were.

The Balata camp is known as a stronghold of the Islamic Hamas, and the governor is from Fatah, led by moderate President Mahmoud Abbas.Hamas overran the Gaza Strip last summer, leaving Fatah in power in the West Bank.
