Israeli occupation troops kill Palestinian in Jenin
Palestine-Israel, Military, 12/22/2005

Israeli occupation troops on Wednesday killed a Palestinian activist in the northern West Bank town of Hamas, IRNA reported.

The troops reportedly arrested and then killed Ziyad Mousa whom the occupation authorities accuse of having killed an Israeli occupation soldier earlier this year.

According to eyewitnesses, Israeli troops stormed a building in downtown Jenin where they killed Mousa. The eyewitnesses said Mousa was only armed with a pistol and didn't resist arrest.

"Despite this, the troops killed him in cold blood rather than arresting him." The eyewitnesses described the killing of Mousa as "a cold-blooded murder and extra-judicial execution." Hamas officials in the West Bank called on the international community to condemn the murder.

"Where is the international community which cries out whenever a Zionist is killed or injured?" said one Hamas spokesman in the northern West Bank.
