(08:45) Palestinian killed in apparent terror shooting
By The Jerusalem Post Internet Staff
One Palestinian was killed and another sustained critical wounds in
a shooting attack north of Jerusalem shortly after midnight.
The Palestinians, traveling in a commercial vehicle
bearing Palestinian Authority liscense plates, were traveling near the
Samaria community of Cochav Hashachar, east of Ramallah, when gunmen fired
volleys of semi-automatic gunfire at the vehicle, police said.
Binyamin district Dep.- Cmdr. Itzik Rahamim said
police had no leads on the identity of the assailants as of this posting,
but believes the attack may have been carried out by a Jewish group, Army
Radios said.
"The modus operandi appears to match that of previous
revenge attacks carried out by Jews against Palestinians," Rahamim said.
