ANOTHER ONE BITES THE PITA

Blast in Southern Gaza Kills Militant.

JERUSALEM - An explosion in the southern Gaza Strip killed a militant who fired homemade rockets at Israel on Saturday and wounded three other people, Palestinian officials said.  Palestinian security officials said the explosion was the result of an Israeli airstrike. But the Israeli army said it was not involved.  Palestinian officials identified the man killed as Khaled Abu Seta, 24, a militant from the Abu Rish Brigades, a small group tied to the ruling Fatah movement. Abu Seta and other militants were on their way back from launching rockets at Israel when the explosion happened, security officials said on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.
