Israelis kill Palestinian who attacked soldier

NABLUS, West Bank (Reuters) - Israeli troops shot dead a Palestinian woman who stabbed a soldier at a West Bank checkpoint on Tuesday and a militant group said she had been on her way to carry out a suicide attack in Israel....Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, part of President Mahmoud Abbas's ruling Fatah movement, said 36-year-old Haifa Hindiya, a mother of five, was on a suicide mission to avenge the killing of two gunmen by Israeli troops in the occupied West Bank last week.

"We are not committed to the truce and we will not respect it. We will continue resisting and fighting the Zionist occupation ... She (Hindiya) was on her way to committing a martyrdom (suicide) attack," the group said in a statement.  An army commander said the attacker was knocked to the ground after stabbing and lightly wounding a female soldier and that troops opened fire when the Palestinian woman, still armed with a knife, tried to get up to attack them.
