Gaza - A Palestinian farmer was buried in Gaza yesterday whose body was riddled with nail-like projectiles fired by Israeli soldiers using a type of anti-personnel ammunition not seen in the Palestinian conflict before last week.
Relatives of Mr Ziad Ayad said he was going to work on family farmland on Saturday morning when he was shot near the Karni crossing. The army says he was a suspect because he was in an area where there had been attacks on Israelis.
In Jerusalem, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon accused Palestinian President Yasser Arafat of doing nothing to stop violence against Israelis. Palestinians blamed Mr Sharon for turning their cities into prison camps yesterday.
