EU offers softer Iran stance in bid to delay Security Council referral
In Vienna the European Union proposed delaying a move to bring Iran before the UN Security Council over suspected nuclear activity if Russia and China back a new resolution criticizing Tehran for IAEA commitments.

Palestinian Killed by Israeli Troops at Dotan Base
An unarmed 19 year old Palestinian, Allah Khamtouni, was shot and killed by Israeli soldiers at the Dotan base near Jenin after entering the site hours before troops vacated it. Soldiers fired at Khamtouni and others as they approached, fearing an explosive belt, while Palestinian officials say the group entered thinking the base was abandoned.
