NABLUS, West Bank - Gunmen shot and killed a senior official from the mainstream Palestinian Fatah party Tuesday in the Balata refugee camp, party officials said.

Nasser Badawi, 37, was walking at the entrance to the camp in Nablus when three gunmen in a taxi opened fire on him, killing him, the officials said.

Badawi was one of the Fatah leaders in the camp.

There was no indication about who was responsible. The Israeli military said it had no troops in the area at the time of the shooting.

The Balata camp is ruled by competing armed factions of Palestinians, and infighting is not uncommon.
