Palestinian Sniper Kills Egyptian Guard During Border Riot
(Los Angeles Times) Edmund Sanders - A Palestinian sniper shot and killed an Egyptian border guard Wednesday at a demonstration called by Hamas to protest against Egypt's interference with an aid convoy and its construction of an underground barrier designed to block tunnels used to smuggle goods and weapons into Gaza. Several hundred Palestinian protesters in Rafah began throwing rocks and Molotov cocktails at Egyptian security forces across the border, who responded with gunfire, witnesses said.
