DJ State Dept/Powell/Arafat -2: Following Suicide Bombing

JERUSALEM (AP)--His peacekeeping mission rocked by a terrorist bombing, Secretary of State Colin Powell was reconsidering whether to meet with Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat on Saturday, a U.S. official said.

Just hours after a suicide bomber struck near a Jerusalem marketplace Friday, the White House called on Arafat to publicly denounce the terrorist act and the State Department said Powell would decide later whether to see Arafat as planned.

"He's looking at the whole situation in terms of the bombing and everything," State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said.
