NABLUS, West Bank, Feb 20 (Reuters) - Three American women were seized in the occupied West Bank on Tuesday, near the city of Nablus, a senior Palestinian security source told Reuters.

No Palestinian group claimed responsibility for any kidnapping. If the women were abducted by militants it would be the first abduction of foreigners since Jan. 23 when a French diplomat and two bodyguards were held for a few hours.
