(Jerusalem Post) - Khaled Abu Toameh Associated Press photographer Nasser Shoukhi was attacked and wounded in the PA-controlled part of Hebron on Monday by three assailants, who also destroyed his car. A relative said the three men who beat him belonged to a rival clan in the city. On Tuesday, the family of the suspected attackers asked for a temporary truce in the presence of some 500 representatives of local clans and institutions. "We are living in a jungle where many people take the law into their own hands," said a Palestinian journalist in Hebron. In Gaza City, unidentified gunmen kidnapped a female worker of the PA Ministry of Health and shot her in the leg. "At the entrance to the clinic, three heavily armed men walked up to me, put a sack on my head, handcuffed me and pushed me into a car," she recounted.
