Four Dead in Gaza Blast Hitting U.S. Vehicles -Radio
2003-10-15
An apparent roadside bomb exploded next to a convoy of U.S. diplomatic and CIA vehicles in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday and Israel Radio said at least four people were killed. Witnesses at the scene said a silver Cherokee jeep used by American diplomats was completely destroyed by the blast, which left a gaping hole from what appeared to be a roadside bomb. A Palestinian policeman at the scene said he had seen at least two bodies ripped apart but Israel Radio said there were four dead in all.

#5  wire report via drudge:
U.S. citizens were ordered to leave the Gaza Strip following a deadly attack on a convoy of U.S. diplomats Wednesday, diplomatic sources said. Three Americans, apparently security guards for diplomats, were killed in the attack near the Palestinian town of Beit Lahiya in the northern Gaza Strip. Several hours after the bombing, U.S. investigators were attacked by Palestinian stone throwers and sped away as their cars were pelted by rocks. Diplomats, speaking on condition of anonymity, said U.S. citizens were asked to leave the volatile strip, but details of the order were not immediately available.

#3  Erekat has long pushed the idea of having international observers in PA territory. The UN had the Temporary International Presence in Hebron (TIPH - which both the Israelis and the Palestinians called 'two idiots patroling Hebron'). Erekat's idea looks like it has been blown up along with the silver Cherokee.
