>An American woman peace protester was killed Sunday by an IDF bulldozer,
>which ran her over during the demolition of a house at the Rafah refugee
>camp in the southern Gaza Strip. Another activist was wounded in the
>incident.   Rachel Corey, 23, from Olympia, Washington, was killed when
>she ran in front of the bulldozer to try to prevent it from 
>destroying a house,
>doctors in Gaza said.   "Corey was killed in the al-Salam neighbourhood
>when an  Israeli bulldozer covered her with sand as she stood in front of a
>bulldozer," said Dr Ali Musa, a doctor from the al-Najar hospital in the
>southern Gaza Strip. He said she died from skull and chest fractures.   The
>IDF said it was checking the report. The U.S. State Department had no
>immediate comment.   Greg Schnabel, 28, from Chicago, said the protesters
>were in the house of Dr. Samir Masri.   "Rachel was alone in front of the
>house as we were trying to get them to stop," he said. "She waved for
>bulldozer to stop and waved. She fell down and the bulldozer kept going. We
>yelled 'stop, stop,' and the bulldozer didn't stop at all. It had 
>completely run
>over her and then it reversed and ran back over her."   Since the start of the
>Intifada, groups of international protesters have gathered in 
>several locations
>in territories, setting themselves up as "human shields" to try to stop IDF
>operations.   Corey was the first member of the groups, called "International
>Solidarity Movement," to be killed in the conflict. Schnabel said Corey was a
>student at Evergreen College and was to graduate this year.   He said there
>were eight protesters at the site, four from the United States and four from
>Great Britain. "We stay with families whose house is to be demolished," he
>told the Associated Press by telephone from Rafah after the incident.
