REUTERS - The United States condemned in the strongest possible terms on Friday an attack in the West Bank that resulted in the death of a U.S. citizen, the State Department said in a statement.

The death of American Tuvya Wiesman on Thursday underscores the need for all sides to reject violence, the statement said.
Wiesman, an off-duty IDF soldier, was stabbed to death and another Israeli man was badly wounded in the attack perpetrated by two 14-year-old Palestinian boys.
