Headline: "Surge of Violence Threatens Mideast Peace Idea"
2002-02-28
  • Gunnies at Balata, the biggest camp in the West Bank, said they had surrounded 14 Israeli commandos at a United Nations school and hinted darkly that they may not get out alive. "We will not accept any kind of negotiations. Getting in is one thing, getting out is another," one snuffy said.

    The Israeli army confirmed troops were in the school but denied they were under siege. The al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade threatened to attack the Jewish settlement of Gilo on the edge of Jerusalem unless Israeli forces withdrew from Balata. Thursday's raids on Balata and a second camp in Jenin followed an attack at an Israeli checkpoint in the West Bank late on Wednesday by a Palestinian woman suicide bomber who blew herself up, wounding three Israeli policemen.
    So what else is new? You say the word "peace" around these goobers and somebody explodes.
