| 3 Israelis killed in attack on settlement |
| 2002-06-08 |
| Three Israelis were killed and five others wounded Saturday in an attack by Palestinian gunmen in the West Bank settlement of Karmei Tsur, the Israel Defense Forces said. The victims included two settlers, a pregnant woman and her husband, the IDF said. Another man died later, military sources said. Afraid something of substance might come out of Mubarak's meeting in Washington, are they? Security officers at the settlement returned fire, killing one of the gunmen. The Israeli army is searching for the second, who escaped. The Associated Press, quoting military sources, said the gunmen sprayed bullets that ripped through a cluster of mobile homes. After daybreak, reporters could see soldiers carrying a stretcher with a body wrapped in a white blanket. Another body lay covered by a red blanket. A trailer door was punctured by bullets, and blood was smeared on a nearby wall. Civilians living in trailer houses, yeah, that's a pretty legitimate military target, ain't it? And those pregnant women can be dangerous — you know, those mood swings and all. Sometimes they get downright vicious and oppress the entire Palestinian people, all at once. |
