THE BATTALION
Palestinian activist killei
Witness say leader of militant Hamas shot by Isn
BALATA REFUGEE CAMP,
West Bank (AP) — A leader of the
militant Palestinian Hamas was shot
and killed from long range Monday
in another apparent targeted killing
by Israeli forces.
Witnesses said Mahmoud Madani
was walking from a mosque in the
Balata refugee camp when he was
gunned down. His brother Noor, 21,
said Madani cried out, “Eve been hit"
and tried to crawl away. Doctors said
Madani was shot four times in the up
per body. He died several hours later
in a Nablus hospital.
Witnesses said the gunfire came
from Israeli positions 150 yards
away. Palestinians and Israeli me
dia assumed this was an Israeli
killing of a Palestinian uprising ac
tivist, though the Israeli military re
fused to comment.
Israel has targeted and killed at
least a dozen Palestinian activists in
recent months, according to Palestini
ans. Usually the Israelis refuse to com
ment, but officials say often that Israel
will hit those who attack Israelis.
In a newspaper interview, the
deputy Israeli military chief of staff,
Maj. Gen. Moshe Yaalon, said a de

Helicopter crashes in Myanm&f
killing one, 14 remain missinpri
YANGON, Myanmar (AP) — One of the most pow
erful generals in Myanmar’s military junta was killed
Monday in a helicopter crash that left 14 others missing,
the government said. A Cabinet minister and seven jun
ta officials appeared to be among the missing.
The military helicopter carrying 22 officials and sev
en crew members crashed into the Salween River in
southeastern Myanmar. Lt. Gen. Tin Oo, 67, and the rest
of his party were going to Pa-an, about 100 miles south
east of the capital of Yangon, to inspect a bridge.
Myanmar Television, quoting a government statement,
said the Russian-made MI-17 helicopter went down after
going through “a sudden patch of bad weather." It also
said that 14 people were missing — nine government of
ficials and five crew members. None were identified.
The broadcast statement said that, in addition to Tin
Oo, an unidentified military officer was also killed, and
that 13 others survived. It gave no other details.
Government officials told The Associated Press on
condition of anonymity that among those missing and
presumed dead were Brig. Gen. Lun Maunig, a minister
in the premier’s office, and Maj. Gen. Sit Maung, the
cotnmander of the southeastern forces.
