Israeli soldiers on Tuesday shot and killed a 9-year-old Palestinian
boy in Nablus as he sat on the front steps of his home eating a
sandwich, relatives said. The troops were enforcing a curfew when they
drove by 9-year-old Khaled Usta's home, the boy's aunt, Ferial Usta
said. Youths threw stones at the troops, but the group fled when the
soldiers got out of the jeep and pointed their guns at a fence just
behind the boys, she said. Khaled was sitting just behind the fence
eating a sandwich when one of the soldiers fired his rifle, the aunt
said. [more]
