(Adds Israeli,
Palestinian comments) JERUSALEM, March 10 (Reuters) -
Israeli soldiers shot and killed a
Palestinian judge from
Jordan on Monday in an altercation at a
crossing point between
Jordan and the Israeli-occupied West Bank,
Palestinian officials said. The
Israeli military said the man had tried to seize a soldier's gun at the Allenby bridge, which spans the
Jordan River, and that troops had then shot him. The
Palestinian Authority in the West Bank city of Ramallah condemned what it called the "shooting at close range" by
Israeli troops. An
Israeli military official said the army was checking reports about the man's identity.
