Three shot dead during Gaza pullout


An Israeli gunman has opened fire at a group of Palestinians in the West Bank, killing three people, as Israeli troops drag settlers from the Gaza Strip.
The incident has brought condemnation from both the Israeli Government and the Palestinian Authority, who believe it was an attempt to sabotage the Gaza pullout.
Settler Asher Weisgan, 38, seized a gun from a security guard at the gate of the Shiloh settlement and shot dead two Palestinian workers he was driving home from work at an industrial estate on the settlement.
He then turned the gun on nearby Palestinian workers, killing one and wounding two others.
