1 - "Terror Continues..So Much For Arafat's Kind Speech

Arafat may have given a speech about reducing terrorism last night,  however, the deeds on the ground are very different. Mortars landed in Gush Katif, bombs exploded by an Israeli tank near Har Bracha, and shooting attacks were reported at IDF troops throughout Judea and Samaria. Sharon's office highlighted the fact that Arafat still has not outlawed his opposition or taken serious action against Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Fatah and the Tanizim. Israel Mossad Chief HaLevy said that Arafat remains a terrorist and will not lay down his arms or his strategy of carrying out an armed struggle against the Jews."
