Calls for Probe of Israelis Agents' "Extrajudicial Execution" at Hospital 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------


 
Amnesty International is calling for a probe of the killing of a
Palestinian man by undercover Israeli agents during a raid on a hospital
in Hebron Thursday, saying the killing may amount to an extrajudicial
execution. The Palestinian Ministry of Health said undercover commandos
shot Abdullah al-Shalaldeh five times after he allegedly attempted to
stop them from questioning his cousin, who was receiving treatment after
being injured by Israeli security forces. Philip Luther of Amnesty
International said, "The fact that Abdullah Shalaldeh was shot in the
head and upper body suggests this was an extrajudicial execution, adding
to a disturbing pattern of similar recent incidents by Israeli forces in
the West Bank which warrant urgent investigation."
