The violence -- the worst in four days -- cast a pall over American and U.N. efforts to negotiate a truce at a Mideast summit in Egypt attended by Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat. In several areas, Palestinian militiamen -- apparently hoping to sabotage international mediation efforts (I think by Arafat secret orders) -- opened fire on Israeli positions Monday. In the West Bank town of Ramallah, about 50 armed Palestinians joined the funeral procession of a 30-year-old Palestinian man who died of injuries sustained in clashes with Israeli troops last week. The militiamen fired in the air at Ramallah's Manara Square where they read a statement denouncing Arafat's involvement in the summit. ``We will defend our people with whatever we have in our hands,'' it said. Later, protesters marched toward an Israeli checkpoint north of the city, where militiamen opened fire on Israeli troops, drawing return fire. nytimes.com
