GAZA, Jan 4 (Reuters) - An armed wing of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah faction carried out a bombing in southern Israel on Monday along with another militant group, a Fatah source said.

The source said the "Army of Palestine" wing of Fatah's al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades carried out the attack in Dimona along with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).

Israeli police said a Palestinian suicide bomber killed at least one person in Dimona and that a second bomber was shot dead before he could detonate his explosive belt.
