Gunmen Disrupt Lecture by Palestinian PM
Gunmen in a refugee camp opened fire Wednesday, disrupting a lecture from the Palestinian prime minister about the need to end violence. The brazen shooting highlighted the difficulty of his task.

"This country needs order, needs quiet," Prime Minister Ahmed Qureia shouted, repeating a theme he has pressed for weeks. But even as he spoke, gunfire rang out, startling Qureia and putting his bodyguards on high alert.

Associated Press Television News footage showed militants angrily waving their weapons as Qureia's security guards — their rifles trained on the gunmen — stood at the windows of the building where the prime minister was speaking in the Balata camp next to the city of Nablus.

"Don't listen to them. Don't be scared, don't let these gunmen run the show," Qureia implored his audience.

After Qureia's speech, gunmen opened fire again and set off an explosive device about 300 yards from his convoy. No one was injured. Qureia was whisked away.
