Hamas Leader Rantisi Killed After Missile Attack, CNN Reports
April 17 (Bloomberg) -- Abdel Aziz Rantisi, the new leader of the Palestinian Islamic Group Hamas, was killed in an Israeli missile strike in Gaza City tonight, Cable News Network reported.

The Israeli government told Rantisi that he might be marked for assassination, CNN said, citing unidentified local authorities. One of Rantisi's sons and a bodyguard were also killed, the report said. Some Hamas followers have vowed revenge for Rantisi's death, CNN said.

Rantisi assumed leadership of Hamas on March 23, a day after Israeli troops killed Sheikh Ahmed Yassin, the previous head. Rantisi's death comes hours after a suicide attack at the Erez border crossing between the Gaza Strip and Israel injured three Israelis.

U.S. President George W. Bush said this week he supports Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's plan to retain some West Bank settlements while withdrawing all settlers from the Gaza Strip in an accord that leads to the creation of a Palestinian state.

Sharon's plan differs from a U.S.-sponsored ``road map'' that calls for Israel to withdraw from land occupied since the 1967 Arab-Israeli war.
