Palestinian Terrorists Attack U.S. Diplomatic Convoy in Gaza, Kill Four


(FOX News/Reuters/Washington Post) - Four passengers riding in a three-vehicle U.S. diplomatic convey - clearly marked with "CD" diplomatic license plates and led by a Palestinian police car - were killed in Gaza Wednesday when Palestinian terrorists set off a roadside bomb. An AP reporter saw a gray wire with an on-off switch leading from the scene of the attack to a small concrete room at the side of the road. Mohammed Radwan, a Palestinian taxi driver, said, "I saw the American convoy passing. There was a Palestinian police car in front and then three big (U.S.) cars. When the third one passed, an explosion went off." U.S. diplomatic sources said the people in the targeted car apparently were security guards for the U.S. diplomats traveling in the other vehicles.
