Israeli Troops Kill Palestinian Minister at West Bank Protest 
--------------------------------------------------------------


 
A Palestinian minister has died after a confrontation with Israeli
troops at a West Bank protest. Ziad Abu Ein, the head of the Palestinian
Authority's Anti-Wall and Settlement Commission, was taking part in an
action against the separation wall when Israeli soldiers reportedly
assaulted him. Witnesses say he collapsed after being headbutted and hit
in the chest, and then died after inhaling large amounts of tear gas.
