Palestinian militants fire at convoy of German diplomats
By DPA

A convoy of four German diplomatic vehicles was fired upon Friday evening by Palestinian militants near an Israeli military checkpoint north-east of Ramallah, the Israeli army has confirmed.

No one was hurt in the incident, but one car was damaged.

The Israeli military conducted searches in the area but did not locate those behind the attack.

It was unclear if the militants were aware that the vehicles were diplomatic.

This was not the first Palestinian attack on foreigners. Several foreigners have been kidnapped and released in recent months.

In October 2003, a massive bomb planted by Palestinian militants demolished an armor-plated jeep in a convoy carrying U.S. diplomats and CIA personnel in the Gaza Strip Wednesday, killing at least three people and seriously wounding one.
