A Palestinian journalist died in hospital in Jordan on Saturday from injuries suffered in a gas explosion in a security headquarter in the West Bank town of Bethlehem some 10 days ago, his employers said.
Aziz Yusef al-Teneh, 32, was director of the official Palestinian news agency WAFA's Bethlehem office. He was in the headquarters of Force 17, a special unit charged with the security of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat and other top officials, when a gas explosion ripped through the building on October 19.
WAFA said Teneh had worked for the agency since 1988.
Two members of Arafat's personal guard were killed and 10 others injured in the blast.
WAFA said Teneh, who was married just a month ago, was taken to Amman for treatment, but died on Saturday – GAZA CITY (AFP)
