A Romanian truck driver has been murdered by an Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades shooter while driving in the West Bank. This is the first murder of the hudna, and it certainly won’t be the last. The local Al Aqsa gang leaders say, “What truce?” (Hat tip: Morten.)

A local leader of the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, which is affiliated with President Yasser Arafat’s Fatah movement, said his armed group was behind the attack near the city of Jenin and that it would not abide by the ceasefire announced on Sunday.

“We are not committed to so called truce and we will fight the (Jewish) settlers and the Israeli military inside the occupied territories,” he said, referring to the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

An Israeli police spokesman said the dead worker, who was on the road near the targeted truck, was Bulgarian.

“There was a terror attack near Yabed in the northern West Bank and a foreign road worker from Bulgaria was killed,” police spokesman Rafi Yafeh said.

The Associated Press carried a statement for a group of militiamen in Jenin which said: “We do not agree with the cease-fire. This is our first action. This is the beginning.”
