More deaths as Israel and Palestinians resume talks
A Palestinian gunman opened fire on Israeli policemen just outside the walled Old City of Jerusalem today, wounding one, and a passer-by was killed in the ensuing gun battle.
The shooting came after a Palestinian militant died in the West Bank, apparently as a result of a clash with Israeli troops, and just before a second round of high-level meetings between Israeli and Palestinian officials aimed at easing tensions after 21 months of violent conflict.
