JERICHO, West Bank - A Palestinian militant was shot dead by "Israeli" troops in a refugee camp near the West Bank town of Jericho Wednesday, medical and security sources said.
Mahmud Shahin, 37, was shot dead by "Israeli" forces in the Ein al-Sultan camp, the sources said.
It was not immediately clear to which Palestinian armed faction Shahin belonged, nor was there any immediate comment from the "Israeli" army.
The latest death brought to 5,131 the number of people killed since the start of the Palestinian uprising-intifada, in September 2000 against "Israeli" occupation, most of them Palestinians, according to an AFP toll.
