Palestinians Demonstrate Against Violence
About 500 people rallied in downtown Nablus, demanding an end to the virtual immunity of gunmen from prosecution or punishment for crimes ranging from robbery to murder. On Wednesday, 3 gunmen went into a pharmacy to abduct another man. On the way out, witnesses said, one of the gunmen fired randomly on the street, killing Amnah Abu Hiljah, 36, who was holding her 2-month-old baby. In a second incident, a 14-year-old boy was killed when a bomb he was playing with exploded, security officials said, adding that the device was like those planted on West Bank roads against Israeli vehicles.
