Palestinians: Explosive device kills farmer in West Bank
By The Associated Press
Tags: West Bank, Israel 

A Palestinian police official says a West Bank farmer was killed when he triggered an explosive device while on his way to work in his fields.

The official says the 24-year-old Palestinian was killed early Friday near the village of Al-Mansura, west of the town of Jenin. He says police have identified the device as an old Israeli mine.

The Israeli military says it is checking the report.

The Palestinian official says the Israeli army used the area in the past as a training ground. He spoke on condition of anonymity because the Palestinian police had not issued an official statement on the incident.

The Israel Defense Forces retains overall control of the West Bank, but police loyal to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas have limited authority in some areas.
