PALESTINIANS LAY TO REST MAN KILLED BY ISRAELI FORCES! Excerpt: Mubaraks father said he was shot dead without reason, denying army claims that he was armed and fired at Israeli forces. He said his son worked daily in the area where he was shot dead, near the village of Ein Siniya. Eyewitnesses in the area told Maan that Mubarak was a laborer working with the al-Tarifi company on a USAID funded project to refurbish the main road in Ein Siniya. An Israeli army statement said: A Palestinian terrorist opened fire at an IDF (army) post near Ofra. The soldiers responded immediately in order to eliminate the imminent threat to their lives and fired towards the terrorist, identifying a hit. Palestinian housing and public works minister Maher Ghneim condemned what he described as the cold-blooded killing of a laborer who was working on a project run by the ministry in coordination with USAID. Ghneim also lashed out at Israels attempts to distort the story by saying Mubarak had opened fire on troops, claiming the youth had been carrying a sign to direct the traffic when he was shot. He called for an independent inquiry into the shooting by international rights groups. Last year, Israels army killed 27 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, according to UN statistics.
