U.S-back- Abbas also proposed a joint political leadership including the militant Hamas and Islamic Jihad, said Hamas official Abu Shanab said. In the talks, Hamas insisted on its right to target Israeli soldiers and settlers in the West Bank, said Shanab. But he also said the group's leaders did not rule out the possibility of stopping the attacks. "We are examining the idea," said Abu Shanab. Islamic Jihad leaders, however, rejected Abbas' call for a halt to attacks against all Israelis, said Islamic Jihad leader Abdulla Shami. Israel's part of the emerging deal would be a commit- ment to stop targeted killings of suspected militants, participants said, adding that Israel has not given such Sharon, denied reports that Israel told the United States that it would scale back its attempts to kill sus 10 helpful geneticist offers to done Doug, it seems like the perfect solution until the clones start to take over.

Last week Israeli helicopters struck three times in Gaza City, targeting Hamas political leader Abdel Aziz Rantisi, who was wounded, and commanders and militants of the Hamas military wing. Twenty people, most of them bystanders, were killed. Also last week, a Hamas suicide bomber on a Jerusalem bus killed 17 people. Gissin said a senior Israeli official went to Washington to inform the U.S. administration that Israel would continue to attack "ticking bombs," which he defined as terrorists carrying explosives. The joint leadership suggested by Abbas would be headed by Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat and operate under the umbrella of the PLC, according to the official Palestine Media Center.

Hours later, an attacker gunned down a U.S. soldier, capping one of the most violent days in the capital since American forces quelled looting after the fall of Saddam's regime. The soldier and another who was wounded were guarding a propane gas distribution point. The slain soldier was the second American fatality in Baghdad and the fourth across Iraq this week a series of attacks that U.S. officials say appear to be not just random killings. The casualties brought to 188 the number of soldiers killed in Iraq since the outbreak of hostilities on March 20.

City officials also said they would aggressively enforce an overnight curfew already on the books for those 16 and younger, saying those are the ones causing the trouble. Steven McCoy, a member of the City Commission, pleaded for calm, saying: "Let's don't destroy our city. This is our city. When it's all said and done, it's going to take us to put it all together again." The rioting in the mostly black city began Monday after the death of Terrance Shurn, 28, of Benton Harbor, who lost control of his speeding motorcycle and crashed into a building as he was being chased by Benton Township police. Shurn was black, and the officers who chased him into the city are white. Tuesday night, Palestinian gunmen killed a Israeli girl and wounded her sister in a highway ambush.

U.S.-back- ed Saddam's former Republican Palace, now the political and military nerve center of the U.S. administration in Iraq. Past protests, usually by former soldiers and civil servants demanding new jobs or back wages, have been largely peaceful. On Wednesday, about 500 protesters confronted a line of 40 troops armed with bayonet-mounte- d assault rifles standing behind razor-edge- d concertina wire. The U.S. Central Command said the violence began when protesters tossed rocks at a U.S. convoy it tried to pass through. "One demonstrator pulled out a weapon and began shooting," said a statement from Central Command hours after the incident. "U.S. forces responded, killing two of the demonstrators." Samir Mizban, an Associated Press photographer, said a civilian driver fired a pistol into the air after crowds began smashing his car. Mizban said the protesters were stoning every vehicle within range. "It was a new car. The demonstrators broke the windscreen with wooden sticks. The driver tried to escape, so he fired in the air with his pistol," said Mizban.

The suspects allegedly withdrew more than they had in their accounts. The credit union, whose members include city, state and federal government employees and health care industry workers, was headquartered near the World Trade Center when the 2001 attack brought twin towers down.
