Israeli troops kill West Bank Islamic Jihad leader

---

NABLUS, West Bank, Aug 4 (AFP): Israeli troops have shot dead a leader of the radical Islamic Jihad group in the West Bank and wounded three people during an incursion into the Gaza Strip, Palestinian security sources and witnesses said Friday.
Meanwhile, Palestinian militants fired three rockets from Gaza into southern Israel early Friday, slightly wounding one person and causing minor damage, a military source said.
The violence came after US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice Thursday ended a visit to Israel and the Palestinian territories aimed at reviving the dormant peace process between the two sides.
Raed Abu al-Adass, 26, was found dead late Thursday after an exchange of fire with troops in the old town of Nablus in the northern West Bank.
Another Islamic Jihad militant was arrested and a passer-by wounded in the clash, the source said.
An army spokesman said a "special unit operating in Nablus surrounded a building containing suspects and called on them to surrender. When they saw a man flee the building they fired at him.
