ISRAELI soldiers killed a Palestinian militant as he was meeting a British reporter in the West Bank city of Nablus, witnesses said.
They said soldiers broke into a house where Mohammed Alasi, 24, a local leader of the Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, was talking to the reporter. Alasi tried to flee, but soldiers shot him dead and took his body, witnesses said.
The Israeli military had no immediate comment.
The witnesses did not know which news outlet the reporter represented, giving her name only as "Annie".
They said she was being questioned by Israeli forces, and her translator was detained.
The Al Aqsa group is linked to the ruling Fatah party of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
Nablus, the largest city in the West Bank, is a main centre of militant activity. Israeli forces carry out frequent raids there.
I've been thinking for a while now that it'd be crafty to bug or tail reporters, since they never seem to have difficulty finding terrorists to interview.
you beat me to it.
Yep, she's in deeep doo doo, with her terrorists friends.
