The updated article, which doesn't help clear up the confusion. At least, not for me. Sharon nods to more security talks Click for complete story Tuesday, 4 December 2001 16:08 (ET) Sharon nods to more security talks By JOSHUA BRILLIANT, United Press International TEL AVIV, Israel, Dec. 4 (UPI) -- Prime Minister Ariel Sharon left open the door for more talks with Palestinians designed to end the violence, despite the government's decision that the Palestinian Authority is "an entity supporting terror" and statements that there will be no negotiations with it. Sharon on Tuesday met with the army's senior commanders in the West Bank, and a well-placed military source told United Press International, "There have never been any orders barring (officers) from meeting their (Palestinian) counterparts." A senior government official, who spoke to UPI on condition of anonymity, said "We didn't say we were ceasing contacts. Meetings in the field to stop terrorists -- yes. Whoever fights terror is OK." The wave of terror attacks that killed scores of Israelis and left hundreds injured -- and the Israelis' reaction, including the heavy attacks Monday night and Tuesday -- have reportedly led retired U.S. Marine Corps Gen. Anthony Zinni to "reconsider" his schedule, a diplomatic source confirmed. Zinni had come to arrange a cease-fire, but hostilities have escalated dramatically. "The whole schedule is being reconsidered," the source said. The U.S. Embassy's spokesman Paul Patin insisted that Zinni "hasn't given up." Zinni intends to stay in the area, but is likely to return to the United States to brief his superiors, UPI was told. A senior Israeli official suggested that Zinni is in a dilemma as "there is no progress because of Arafat's position." The official said one-third of all the Palestinian terror attacks were carried out by members of the Palestinian security forces. vny.com
