(AP/Jerusalem Post) - Three masked gunmen shot and killed a Palestinian man they accused of collaborating with Israel in the center of Ramallah Thursday, witnesses and doctors said. Witnesses said the three gunmen pushed the man into a car and drove to the center of town. Then, one of the gunmen pulled the man from the car and shouted, "In the name of the Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, we carry out the sentence of death," and shot Samer Sharour, in his early 20s, six times in the head and chest. The Al Aqsa group is loosely linked to Yasser Arafat's Fatah movement.
