An Israeli General Security Service agent - 45 year-old Col. Yehuda Edri of Ma\'ale Adumim - today became the latest victim of the ongoing PLO mini-war against Israel. Traveling with his bodyguards this morning along on the Tunnels Road in Gush Etzion, Edri was on his way to meet with an Arab contact with whom he had worked for some time. At the northern tunnel, a vehicle stopped and the contact, Hassan Abu Sha\'ayra, got out. The Arab approached Edri\'s vehicle, drew a handgun, and fired at Edri and the passengers at point-blank range. Col. Edri died immediately while one of his bodyguards was injured moderately in the neck and jaw. Informant-turned-terrorist Abu Sha\'ayra then began to flee the scene, but an alert second (uninjured) guard accompanying Edri pursued the terrorist and shot and killed him. Abu Sha\'ayra had previously spent approximately two years in a Palestinian Authority prison for collaborating with Israeli security agents.
