Gunman wounds five tourists in Israel

Edited on Wed Nov-19-03 01:53 PM by Herschel

- A gunman trying to infiltrate a border crossing from Jordan fired on a crowd of tourists, wounding five on the Israeli side of the border, Israeli officials said. The attacker was killed.

All five of the wounded tourists were from Ecuador, said Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jill Reinach. Rescue workers said one woman was seriously wounded.

Military sources said the attacker concealed himself in the back of a truck approaching the border, leapt out and opened fire before he was shot by Israeli security personnel.

=============================

Tourists from Ecuador. For what reason? This incident should be remembered when some wail about the IDF taking down suspicious figures near a border.
