RAMALLAH, West Bank – A Palestinian government official says shots
have been fired at the office of Prime Minister Salam Fayyad. No one
was hurt.
The official says Fayyad was not in his office at sundown Wednesday
when at least one bullet hit a building in his government compound.
The official says guards told him they heard several shots being
fired in the air. It was not clear whether the shots were fired by
gunmen on foot or in a car. The assailants escaped.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not
authorized to discuss the incident with reporters.
