The National Weather Service issued a flash flood warning through Tuesday evening for the San Bernardino Mountains, scene of the tragedies. One to 3 inches of rain were expected to begin falling Mondaynight. “The bad newsis,it’s already rained up there, so the soil’s already saturated,” said forecaster Stuart Seto. “It probably can’t hold Adam Ereli, who said authorities in the Philippines notified Ameri can officials two days after the men were arrested on immigration charges on Dec, 13.

Pulling down the unauthorized settlements that dot hilltops throughout the West Bank is a key element of the U.S-backed“road map” peace plan, whichIsraeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon accepted with reservations in June. Soonafter, soldiers dismantled a few of the more than 100 outposts, but momentum fizzled as the peace process bogged downandPalestinians ignored the road maprequirement that they disarm militant groups. Sharon and Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz agreed Sundayto order four of the outposts three of them uninhabited dismantled in the coming days. One of the three, Havat Shaked, has been evacuated several times before but rebuilt each time. Thefourth is Ginnot Arieh, about four miles northeast of the Palestinian city of Ramallah and hometo some 25 settlers.
