An Israeli was shot to death and another seriously wounded early Tuesday morning in the center of Paris. Police believe the shooting broke out as a result of Israeli gang warfare and are looking for five other men, believed to be Israeli, and suspected of having taken part in the shootout in a cafe near the Paris opera. The deed man is Zion Attias, 29, born in Meknes and who police said had entered France with a Moroccan passport. The wounded man is Joseph Attias, 28, also born in Meknes, and believed to be a distant relative of the dead man.
