- Story Text: -Palestinian wounds three in axe attack near Tel Aviv.
An axe-wielding Palestinian wounded three people
outside an army base near Tel Aviv on Monday (March 22, 2004)
hours after Israel assassinated the spiritual leader of the
militant Hamas group, a police officer said.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the
axe attack, which followed vows of revenge by Hamas and
another militant group, al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, for the
killing of Sheikh Ahmed Yassin in a helicopter missile
strike in Gaza.
The officer told Israel Radio that a "man from the
Palestinian territories got out of a car and attacked three
people with an axe."
A police statement said two men and a woman were
injured, none seriously, in the incident outside an
army base in the city of Ramat Gan and that the Palestinian
was arrested.
