Hamas supports beat up PA coppers
1,500 Hamas supporters clashed with Palestinian riot police outside the home of spiritual leader Sheik Ahmed Yassin in resistance to Yasser Arafat's crackdown on militants. A Hamas supporter was killed in an exchange of fire at the scene. Palestinian security officials said a total of 180 Islamic militants have been rounded up since the arrest sweep began Sunday. Israel has complained that those detained were lower-level activists, and that the planners of the attacks are still at large.
