near a checkpoint in the West Bank Sunday.

They say the Israeli soldiers opened fire on the man's vehicle when it
tried to bypass a checkpoint near the city of Nablus. Three other
Palestinians in the vehicle were wounded.







Palestinians protest detention of Deputy Prime Minister Nasser
al-ShaerMeanwhile, Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh condemned
Israel's arrest of Deputy Prime Minister Nasser al-Shaer, a top
official of the Hamas organization.

Israeli forces raided Shaer's home in the West Bank early Saturday and
took him away for questioning.

An Israeli spokesman says Shaer was detained because he is a member of
Hamas, which won Palestinian elections early this year but is
considered a terrorist group by Israel, the United States and the
European Union. Some information for this report was provided by AFP,
AP and Reuters.
