Three dead in Gaza blast - witnesses

GAZA, May 5 (Reuters) Three Palestinians were killed in a blast at a militant training camp in the Gaza Strip today, witnesses said.

They said the blast hit a training camp used by the Popular Resistance Committees (PRC), an umbrella group of militants that often fires makeshift rockets into Israel.

Palestinian militants in the area suspected an Israeli air strike.

They said a Palestinian who was killed was the brother of a senior commander in the PRC.

The Israeli army was not immediately available for comment.
