JERUSALEM (Reuters) - A gunman killed two Israeli security guards at an industrial zone on the West Bank boundary on Friday, close to Palestinian-ruled territory, military officials said.

Searches were under way around the Netzanei Oz industrial zone on suspicion the assailant may have been a Palestinian militant, but authorities were not ruling out a criminal motive, Israel Radio reported.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility from any armed Palestinian factions.
