Wide shot of commotion at bomb site STORYLINE: A car has been destroyed by shell or missile fire outside the offices of Marwan Barghouti, a local representative of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat's Fatah movement in Ramallah in the West Bank. It is strongly suspected among Palestinian sources that the explosion was the result of an assasination attempt by Israel against the prominent Palestinian activist. Witnesses said two projectiles hit the car, injuring at least one passerby. The Israeli army had no immediate comment. The first shell missed the car, allowing both driver and passenger - Marwan Barghouti, to escape. A man sitting in a second car - Fatah activist Mohammed Abu Hanaweh, was injured by the blast and is in hospital. The projectiles, thought to be tank shells, were fired from the nearby Jewish settlement of Psagot, which overlooks Ramallah from a hill, Palestinian security officials at the scene said. The car belonged to Ahmed Al Faransi, a bodyguard of Barghouti's.
