4 Palestinian civilians shot dead

A West Bank settler who shot to death four Palestinians in the West Bank settlement of Shiloh said Thursday he had no regrets and hopes someone kills Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.

The incident took place just after 5 P.M. Weissgan, a driver, was preparing to transport Palestinian workers from the industrial zone back to their homes at the end of the day's work, as he did daily. At the gate, he stopped the vehicle and went to ask the security guard for a glass of water.

Weissgan told police that he then wrested the guard's gun from him at knifepoint and shot dead two of the men who were in the vehicle. Others at the scene said Weissgan had used a gun in his own possession.

It is believed Weissgan then drove the van with the bodies toward the aluminum factory and ran into the changing room, where he shot at three other Palestinian workers, killing one of them.
