RAMALLAH -- A Palestinian official says a gunbattle between Palestinian police and gunmen in the West Bank city of Nablus has killed a woman caught in the crosshairs

 

Akram Rajoub, governor of the West Bank city of Nablus, says three policemen were wounded in the shootout.

 

He says the gunmen attacked a Palestinian security post in the old city of Nablus early on Wednesday. The police responded by shooting toward the gunmen, and the 39-year-old Palestinian woman was accidentally killed.
