Six injured in West Bank car, knife attacks

Car-ramming and stabbing attacks wounded six Israelis in the West Bank yesterday while two alleged Palestinian assailants were shot, authorities said, the latest in a weeks-long wave of violence.  At least one attacker was killed.

The latest unrest came as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu prepared to leave for Washington to meet US President Barack Obama.

The wave of attacks since the start of October has left 73 Palestinians dead, around half of them alleged attackers. Nine Israelis have also been killed as well as one Arab Israeli.
