MURDER OF U.N. OFFICIAL
RELIEF ORGANISER FOR NABLUS
(Rec. 9 p.m.) AMMAN, March 3. Gunmen last night assassinated Khaled Husseini, district organiser for the United Nations Relief Works Agency in the Nablus district of Palestine.
The assassins fired at point-blank range while Khaled Husseini was travelling in a car. Khaled Husseini, who was a police inspector under the Palestine Government, was an active leader of irregulars during the Arab-Jewish hostilities. Nablus is one of the Arab parts of Palestine which was formally incorporated in Jordan last April. The United Nations Relief Works Agency for Palestine became solely responsible for relief work in the area last May.
