GAZA, Dec 17 (Reuters) - Unidentified gunmen on Sunday stormed a training camp in Gaza used by the presidential guard, a U.S.-backed force loyal to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, killing one of the officers, a security source said.

The attack was the first of its kind against the elite Palestinian force, made up of about 3,500 security men.

Hamas's armed wing was not immediately available for comment.
