Police hunt killer of Israel gays

02 August 2009

Israeli police are searching for a gunman who killed two people and wounded at least 10 at a gay support centre in the city of Tel Aviv.
Gay leaders say it is Israel's worst hate crime against the community.
Most of the victims were gay teenagers who were meeting at the centre on Nachmani street when the gunman entered and started firing indiscriminately.
Police have ordered the temporary closure of the city's gay clubs and are releasing few details of the search.
That's actually the surprising issue, there is not at all any homophobic activity in Tel Aviv

Hundreds of police are reported to be involved in a door-to-door hunt for the masked, black-clad gunman, who witnesses said fired in all directions with a handgun.
At one point, three deaths were being reported but later accounts spoke only of two fatalities - that of a young man and a young woman. source: bbc.com
