Aziz Shehadeh, a prominent Palestinian attorney, was stabbed to death outside his home in Ramallah, in the West Bank about 10 miles northwest of Jerusalem. Shehadeh, 73, was a moderate who advocated coexistence with Israel. He was one of the first Arabs to urge creation of an independent Palestinian state as part of a peace agreement with Israel after the 1967 Mideast War. A radical Palestinian guerrilla group called Revolutionary Council of Fatah took responsibility for the slaying.
