GOT ANOTHER BIG FISH

Another top terrorist bites the dust. The BBC reports:

Israeli troops have killed a leading Palestinian militant in the West Bank, Palestinian officials said. Fadi Khafisha, a commander in the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, was shot dead in the Old City area of Nablus and at least five other people were wounded ...

Palestinian sources say Mr Khafisha was a top figure, perhaps the most important al-Aqsa man in the West Bank, reports the BBC's Alan Johnson in Ramallah.
