| IDF fires on Yasser's HQ... |
| 2002-09-19 |
| Israeli forces opened fire from tank-mounted heavy machineguns on Palestinian President Yasser Arafat's headquarters in the West Bank city of Ramallah on Thursday. That's their little way of saying "We hold you responsible, Whatsyername!" Chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat told Reuters from the West Bank city of Jericho that Arafat had telephoned him to tell him the headquarters was under fire. He said Arafat was unhurt but two bodyguards had been slightly hurt. Wonder if they put another one through his nightstand? The shooting erupted hours after the second Palestinian suicide bombing in two days, the first such attacks in about six weeks. A suicide bomber killed five people on a bus in Tel Aviv, one day after a bomber killed a policeman in northern Israel. "Cause? Effect? There's a connection?" |
