HeadlineMay 14, 2007

Meanwhile, a pregnant Palestinian woman lost her unborn baby Thursday after coming under fire from Israeli troops in Nablus. Israel says it was responding to shooting from Palestinian militants. Maham Katoumi was in her eighth month of pregnancy. This is her husband, Jihad.

Jihad Katoumi: “When the shooting started, my wife went to bring the children from the other room. As she stood up, the bullets entered her body. She was thrown from the bed to the bathroom. This is what happened.”
