Palestinian Man Shot Dead by Israeli Troops in West Bank 
---------------------------------------------------------


 
Israeli forces opened fire and killed a Palestinian man in the West Bank
Thursday after the man had barricaded himself inside his house to avoid
arrest. The Palestinian Authority described the killing as an
assassination, saying Israeli forces shelled the house, destroyed a part
of it and then stormed it. The killing came on the same day that Amnesty
International accused Israeli forces of using excessive violence in the
West Bank, killing dozens of Palestinians over the past three years in
what, they said, might constitute a war crime.
