KARNI CROSSING, -: An Israeli soldier checks his weapon atop an armoured personnel carrier (APC) at the Karni crossing between Israel and the Gaza Strip 12 May 2004. Israeli troops were combing Gaza City's Zeitun neighbourhood this morning for the remains of six soldiers killed a day earlier in a bomb attack which militants threatened to use as bargaining chips. Meanwhile an Israeli helicopter fired a missile at a house in Zeitun, as Palestinian security sources said Egyptian diplomats were talking with the Islamic Jihad group for the return of the missing body parts. The deaths of the soldiers, blown up in their APC as they took part in a heavy Israeli raid into Zeitun, sparked a crisis in the Israeli government amid plans by Prime Minister Ariel Sharon to pull out of the Gaza Strip.
