You can feel the Associated Press struggling and straining to come up with new euphemisms in this one: Officer killed in Palestinian fighting.

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - A gunfight between a Palestinian security force and a Hamas militia Thursday killed one police officer and wounded four others in the latest outbreak of internal Palestinian fighting, doctors and witnesses said. The death brought to at least 10 the number of people killed in internal violence over the past month.

Both Hamas and the security force accused each other of sparking the shootout.

The fight in Gaza City occurred when a group of police riding in a car on their way back from the funeral of a top security commander clashed with the new militia, security officials said. Hamas militiamen said they were attacked by a group of gunmen at their post in the middle of the city.
