Palestinian militants shot a teen-aged girl in the head on suspicion that she collaborated with Israel. Rajah Ibrahim, 18, was the second woman killed this week by members of the Al-Aksa Brigade, a terrorist group affiliated with Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat’s Fatah movement, according to Israel Radio. Ibrahim allegedly provided information that allowed Israeli troops to track down and kill the Al-Aksa Brigade’s Tulkarm area commander in January. Palestinians have killed dozens of suspected “collaborators” in recent months.
