GAZA CITY (BBC)-- Unknown gunmen have shot dead the media advisor of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat outside his office in Gaza City.

Khalil al-Zaben, a prominent journalist who also advised Arafat on human rights, was struck by a dozen bullets, local Palestinian sources said.

In the immediate aftermath of the attack, Palestinian officials did not comment on a possible motive but there is no indication of an Israeli role.

The local union of journalists has condemned it and demanded an inquiry.

Mr. al-Zaben, 59, was a veteran journalist who ran a Palestinian Authority-funded magazine as well as giving Arafat advice.

He died soon after being brought to hospital following the shooting just before midnight (2200 GMT) on Monday.

"We strongly condemn the assassination of veteran journalist Khalil al-Zebin and urge the Palestinian Authority to intervene immediately to find the perpetrators," said Tawfiq Abu Khoussa, deputy chairman of the Palestinian Journalists' Union.

AP news agency reports that al-Zebin became an Arafat ally in the 1960s and returned to Gaza along with the Palestinian leader and other exiles in 1994, under the terms of Israeli- Palestinian interim peace accords.

Two of his brothers are Palestinian ambassadors in South America and his son works as an airline pilot there, the agency says.

He is also survived by his wife and three daughters. Journalists in Gaza staged a strike on 9 February to protest against growing attacks on reporters in the Palestinian territories: Three weeks ago, newspaper journalist Munir Abu Rizeq reported that his car had been torched in Gaza City In early February, the offices of the Palestinian weekly Ad-Dar were vandalized during the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha
