-Caveat Lector- washingtonpost.com Palestinian Girl Killed in Gaza Strip; Troops Clash With Students
By Ibrahim Hazboun Associated Press Sunday, December 29, 2002; Page A21 JERUSALEM, Dec. 28 -- Israeli troops shot and killed a Palestinian child in the Gaza Strip today, Palestinian medical workers said, and earlier, in the West Bank, soldiers clashed with Palestinian university students. The unrest came a day after four Israelis died in a Palestinian attack on Jewish seminary students. Palestinians said a 9-year-old girl, Hanneen Abu Suleiman, was shot in the head outside her home in the town of Khan Younis in the Gaza Strip when troops opened fire from a Jewish settlement a few hundred yards away. The army said it had no knowledge of an injured child but said one of its outposts in the area had come under attack earlier in the day. Palestinians said there was no fighting at the time the child was shot. Separately, Israeli troops clashed with Palestinian university students during a military operation near Bethlehem University. A military source said troops came under attack by students throwing stones from inside the university compound. Soldiers responded by firing rubber bullets and stun grenades into the building, the source said. No injuries were reported. Also today, Israeli troops blew up the house of an Islamic Jihad member in Doura, a village near Otniel, the West Bank settlement targeted in the seminary attack. Army officials would not say if the militant group member, who was not home at the time, was a suspect in the seminary attack. In the same village, troops also demolished the home of a militant from Yasser Arafat's Fatah movement who was shot to death by soldiers last year. In Jerusalem, a crude car bomb exploded early today not far from a bar popular among young people but caused no injuries, rescue workers said. A suspect was in police custody. Also today, about 150 armed and masked men marched through a refugee camp in the West Bank city of Nablus, firing AK-47 assault rifles into the air. The men, belonging to the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades -- a militia group linked to the Fatah movement -- vowed to continue fighting against Israel. "Every one of these men is ready to be a human bomb and blow up himself for the sake of freedom," one of the masked men told reporters. © 2002 The Washington Post Company <A HREF="http://www.ctrl.org/";>www.ctrl.org</A> DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
