Israeli soldiers shot and killed a gunman who emerged from the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem on Saturday morning, Israeli military sources said. The soldiers felt they were in danger from the gunman, who was evacuated to a hospital where he died of his wounds, the sources said. Israeli soldiers began the siege of the church one month ago when Palestinians, who Israel says are terrorists, entered the building during Israeli incursions into Bethlehem. Both sides say negotiations are taking place to end the siege but they differ on how the talks are progressing.
