Four Israelis killed in West Bank

FOUR Israelis, one of them a pregnant woman, were shot dead near the West Bank Jewish settlement of Kyriat Arba on yesterday, just ahead of renewed peace talks, in what police and the military said was a Palestinian ambush.

Police spokesman Mickey Rosenfeld said a car in which the victims were travelling came under fire on a road between the settlement and the Palestinian village of Bani Naim, near the city of Hebron.

“Obviously it was a terrorist attack,” he said.
