The final realisation..<><Interior Minister Abdel Razak Yehiyeh, said he told leaders of Palestinian groups, including Hamas and Islamic Jihad, to "stop the suicide bombings, stop the murders for no reason."

An aide to Yehiyeh confirmed that he had talked to the Israeli newspaper.

Yehiyeh, a retired general, was appointed interior minister in June in a Cabinet reshuffle, taking charge of Palestinian security forces. Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat had held the post until then.

In the interview, Yehiyeh said that "suicide attacks are contrary to the Palestinian tradition, against international law and harm the Palestinian people."

"Children were exploited for these attacks," Yehiyeh said. Several of the bombers were teenagers.

<Martyrdom is for lesser men
The apparent flaw within Palestinian polity is their inability to perceive the ground realities

By Iqbal Latif

Abu Abdullah, cry like a woman for a Kingdom you could not defend as a man.

This article was inspired by someone who wrote to me "Martyrdom is for lesser men!" It is written in the memory of a wasted life of a 16-year-old girl and the other innocents in Israel whose lives were taken prematurely by this wanton act of aggression. >
