Palestinian militant leader killed

A leading Palestinian militant who admitted killing Israelis has himself been killed.

Raed Carmi, leader of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat’s Fatah movement, was blown up when his car exploded in the West Bank town of Tulkarem.

Carmi had admitted killing two Israeli restaurant owners in Tulkarem last year, as revenge for the assassination of a senior Fatah leader by Israeli commandos.
