PLO . . . PRO-ARAFAT RALLY
More than 10,000 Palestinians filled Gaza City today as hundreds fired guns into the air to show support for PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat,whose police killed 14 peoplewhen they fired into a crowd of Islamic activists Friday. "We support democracy, but we need security and stability to build our state," Arafat told cheering supporters. Butleaders of militant Islamic groupsopposed to the peace accord with Israel called the rally a provocation and said it could damage a shaky truce they reached through mediators over the weekend.Post your opinion on theInternationalbulletin board.
