Palestinian militants fire guns near parliament.
RAMALLAH, West Bank (Reuters) - Palestinian gunmen fired shots in the air outside parliament in the West Bank town of Ramallah on Thursday to demand a greater role in decision making for the former ruling Fatah movement, witnesses said.
They said about 20 masked militants of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, an armed wing of President Mahmoud Abbas’s Fatah party, fired sporadic volleys into the air outside the gate of the Palestinian Legislative Council.
