At least four people have been killed in a bomb attack on the border between Israel and the Gaza Strip, Israeli officials have said. At least 10 people were injured in the blast at the Erez crossing point, Israel radio reported. Israeli media said it happened at a building where Palestinian laborers enter a nearby industrial complex. Correspondents say there have been several attacks around this area during the last three years of violence. Israel radio said the attack was carried out by a female bomber, although the army said it has not determined if the attacker was male or female. The blast is the first attack since 25 December, 2003, when four Israelis were killed and over 20 injured in a blast near the Israeli city of Tel Aviv. **Shot British Peace Activist Dies*** A British peace volunteer who was shot by Israeli occupation forces has died in a London hospital. Tom Hurndall, who was hit in the head and critically wounded by sniper fire in the Rafah refugee camp on 11 April, had spent nine months in a vegetative state. Hurndall, 22, was a volunteer with the International Solidarity Movement (ISM), a group of pro-Palestinian activists who engage in non-violent action to protect civilians in the West Bank and Gaza. His family have called for a vigil outside the British prime minister's residence in London on Wednesday to mark his death. Tom's mother, Jocelyn, has criticised Tony Blair for not condemning the Israelis for wreaking violence upon the innocent. **Israeli Soldier Arrested*** Palestinian medics and witnesses said Hurndall was trying to pull two Palestinian children out of danger when shots were fired from a nearby army watchtower. An Israeli soldier was recently arrested in connection with his death. The unnamed soldier had initially claimed he returned fire at a man armed with a pistol. "However, following an intensive investigation by the military police of the Southern Command, the soldier admitted to shooting in proximity to an unarmed civilian in order to deter him," an army statement said. "At this stage, the criminal investigation of the incident is still continuing," it added. **Independent Investigation*** But the ISM has said it wants an independent investigation, charging that one undertaken by the army "will not be impartial". And Tom's mother, Jocelyn, told Aljazeera.net last month she wanted "the Israeli soldiers responsible for harming Tom to know that they can't shoot people with impunity. "We want to pave the way for Palestinian people to have some legal redress when they are shot and injured by the Israeli army just like my son was". She added her family had little confidence in the probe and had taken matters into its own hands by personally investigating Tom's shooting. Several ISM activists have been wounded by the army in the course of the Al-Aqsa Intifada. **Rachel Corrie Death*** An army investigation into the death of 23-year-old US national and ISM activist Rachel Corrie concluded her being crushed to death by an Israeli bulldozer had been an "accident". It said it would not take any disciplinary action against the soldiers involved. Corrie had been trying to prevent the demolition of a Palestinian home. In both Hurndall's and Corrie's cases, witnesses insisted they had been easily identifiable by their fluorescent orange jackets. **PHOTO CAPTION*** An Israeli soldier argues with a Palestinian boy in front of the checkpoint of Zaatara in the southern West Bank town of Nablus (AFP/Jamal Aruri)
