Fatah Youth Dies after Attempting to Commit Murder

The body of a Fatah youth who the army says was shot dead by a Jewish settler after he attempted to stab two settlers waiting at a bus stop outside the Jewish settlement of Shilo between the West Bank cities of Ramallah and Nablus on March 31, 2008. The body of the youth was covered up, to show respect for the dead.

An Jewish policeman inspects the body of the Fatah youth. This was strictly a case of self-defense.

As for removing checkpoints, I would not do it until the Fatah situation is secure for the protection of all citizens of Palestine. Otherwise, there may be a worse situation then this self-defense case.
