| Israeli troops killed Wednesday Ziad Daas, a local leader of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades in the West Bank city of Tulkarem. Daas had been wanted by Israel for alleged involvement in the killing of two Israeli restaurant owners in Tulkarem in December 2000. Witnesses said Israeli commandos, backed by jeeps, armored vehicles and helicopters, surrounded Daas' hideout Wednesday morning. Gunmen opened fire from inside the building, and witnesses said Daas was on the roof when he was killed by an Israeli sniper. Three other Palestinians were kiiled in this raid, Palestinian security officials said. Another Palestinian was seriously wounded, and taken by the soldiers to an Israeli hospital. Like I say, they have to make mere membership in the terror organizations a killing offense... |
