RAMALLAH, West Bank (AP) _ An Israeli helicopter fired missiles at
a Palestinian car today, killing three people inside and two children
standing nearby, witnesses said. Israeli soldiers also arrested the
Islamic militant group Hamas' top political leader in the West Bank.
The apparent targets of the missile strike in Toubas, 12 miles south
of the West Bank town of Jenin, were two members of the Al-Aqsa Brigades
militant group. One, Rafat Daraghmeh, was killed; the other, 27-year-
old Jihad Sauafta, was severely wounded, according to Palestinian
security officials.
