Erekat: Palestinian tear gas death is 'war crime'

The death of a Palestinian woman who inhaled tear gas fired by Israeli troops at a West Bank protest is a 'war crime,' the Palestinian leadership said on Saturday.

"We condemn this abominable crime by the Israeli occupation army in Bilin against people taking part in a peaceful demonstration and consider it an Israeli war crime against our people," chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erakat told AFP. (AFP)
