                   Palestinian Toddler Killed in Arson Attack

   by VOA News

   Israeli police say an 18-month-old Palestinian child was killed and
   several other people injured in a house fire suspected to have been set
   by Jewish extremists in the West Bank.

   Authorities say the assailants started the fire early Friday in the
   village of Duma and scrawled Hebrew graffiti on a wall before fleeing.

   Israeli troops are looking for the suspects.

   Israeli military spokesman Lt. Col. Peter Lerner condemned the
   incident, calling it `"nothing short of a barbaric act of terrorism.''

   "We will not allow terrorists to take the lives of Palestinians," he
   said.

   Right-wing Israeli extremists have for years attacked Palestinians,
   Arab Israelis and even Israeli military bases in opposition to what
   they see as the government's favorable policies toward the
   Palestinians.
