How is it that Arafat can go to NY and not be arrested while his terror groups admit their role in killing innocent women and children?

news.bbc.co.uk

The al-Aqsa Brigade, affiliated with Mr Arafat's Fatah movement, has claimed responsibility for the killing, the Associated Press news agency reported.

Israel has arrested 12 Palestinians whom it suspects of involvement in the fatal shooting of a woman on Friday.
The suspects were seized in an overnight raid on a Palestinian-controlled village in the West Bank.

The army also bulldozed the house of a Palestinian man who was shot dead last month after he allegedly opened fire at a bus station, killing three Israelis.

The incursion came shortly after United States Secretary of State Colin Powell said he hoped to "jump-start" the peace process.

He suggested that Israel had to be prepared to give up land for peace, in line with UN Security Council resolutions.

Arafat meeting

Mr Powell said he would like to meet Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat when the United Nations General Assembly convenes in New York on Saturday.

Palestinian sources said no meeting had been scheduled.

President George W Bush has refused to meet the Palestinian leader.

National Security Advisor Condoleezza Rice said on Thursday that Mr Arafat had not done enough to distance himself from terrorism.

Mr Powell said the president would meet Mr Arafat "in due course, when the time is right".

Heavy price

Israel's overnight raid into the West Bank came after Defence Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer said the killers of an Israeli woman would pay a heavy price.

The 39-year-old woman was shot dead in an ambush on Friday as she drove to her Jewish settlement home near the town of Jenin in the West Bank.

The al-Aqsa Brigade, affiliated with Mr Arafat's Fatah movement, has claimed responsibility for the killing, the Associated Press news agency reported.

A statement from the group said the shooting was in response to a car explosion on Tuesday in Jenin that killed two Fatah activists.
