Israeli troops in West Bank raid kill three Palestinians
Israeli forces conducted a West Bank dragnet killing three Palestinians while tightening the Gaza blockade in a campaign against Hamas. The action ran parallel to tentative moves toward a possible truce after 29 months of violence and talks in London with U S officials present. In Pakistan a Fokker-27 crash near Kohat killed 17 people including the air force chief Mushaf Ali Mir and his wife. Air Commodore Sarfraz Ahmad ruled out a shootdown.
