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.

A radical Palestinian guerrilla group called Revolutionary Council of Fatah took responsibility for the slaying.
