Factions hopeful on Mecca summit
 Hamas and Fatah representatives on Sunday expressed hope that the upcoming summit in Saudi Arabia between Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas and Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal will end the fighting between the two parties and result in the formation of a PA unity government. | Hmmm. Fred's graphics library is missing an "Unlikely Meter." |
Meanwhile, a cease-fire announced between the two parties on Saturday appeared to be holding in the Gaza Strip as Fatah and Hamas militiamen refrained from street fighting. However, PA security officials reported that some incidents of violence, including mutual kidnappings, continued. They said among those kidnapped was Ashraf Dahlan, a 20-year-old nephew of senior Fatah operative Muhammad Dahlan, a sworn enemy of Hamas.
