- Story Text: A Palestinian stabbed an Israeli to death at a military checkpoint
in the occupied West Bank on Thursday (December 8), Israel Radio said.
The report said the Israeli was stabbed in the neck and the attacker
apprehended at the Qalandiya checkpoint between Jerusalem and the West Bank
city of Ramallah.
The stabber was detained by the army and taken, blind-folded, for
further investigation.
The attack came against the backdrop of mounting violence following a
Palestinian suicide bombing that killed five Israelis outside a shopping mall
on Monday (December 5, 2005).
Since the bombing, Israel has killed three Palestinian militants in air
strikes in the Gaza Strip, drawing vows of revenge. - Copyright Holder: REUTERS
