I was questioned about FTU and explained them all ........ but they did not get it or refused to act. So do not worry lots of noise for nothing. The problem and the sad thing is that terrorism still goes on unabated. ......... and those people think their demonstration and their words will help ........... at a time they only reinforce acts of terrorismwashingtonpost.com Catholic journalist slain in Northern Ireland drive-by shooting (they learned it from the PLO and Powell calls for restrain )BELFAST, Northern Ireland (September 28, 2001 9:59 p.m. EDT) - A Catholic journalist was killed in a drive-by shooting Friday hours after Britain warned Northern Ireland's largest outlawed Protestant group to stop attacks on Catholics and police or face the political consequences. Police said Martin O'Hagan was killed as he walked home with his wife from a pub in Lurgan, a town southwest of Belfast. She was not hurt.nandotimes.com haaretzdaily.com A mortar was fired overnight Friday at the settlement of Tekoa, near Bethlehem - the first time that a mortar has been fired in the West Bank. No injuries were reported and no damage was caused. Palestinians also opened fire three times on an IDF outpost near the settlement of Gadid, one of the Gush Katif bloc of settlements in the Gaza Strip. Palestinians also threw three grenades at an IDF outpost near Rafah. No injuries were reported in either incident. The officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that they were looking into the possibility that the three killed were laying an explosive to be detonated against IDF troops. The army said that the four were on their way to placing an explosive device. Earlier Friday evening, an Islamic Jihad activist, Yasser a-Nadhimi, 30, was killed in southern Hebron, apparently while he was preparing an explosive device. The circumstances of his death are still unclear, and Palestinian security forces have begun investigating the incident. During the day, stones were thrown at an Israeli car traveling on a road south of the West Bank town of Nablus, causing the driver to lose control of the vehicle and crash into a wall. One passenger was moderately wounded, three others sustained light injuries. In the West Bank earlier Friday, an IDF soldier was lightly injured by gunfire in Hebron and a border policeman was lightly wounded by stones thrown at him in Tul Karm. Two Israelis, a man and a woman, were lightly injured by Palestinian gunfire on their vehicle as they were traveling Friday morning in the southern Hebron Hills. BWDIK Haim
