PLO, Arafat Abbas Agree To Crackdown On Hammas

[bemildred]

The Palestinian leadership, following a meeting chaired by President Yasser
Arafat late Wednesday, confirmed its backing to the government of Prime
Minister Mahmud Abbas and the measures it has announced to put an end
to armed phenomena and the violations of public order, and called upon all
Palestinians to commit to the sole leadership of the Palestine Liberation
Organization (PLO) and to the sovereignty of law.

---

The meeting renewed condemnation of the bombing in Jerusalem on
Tuesday, ?for which Hamas officially announced its responsibility? and
adopted four decisions to establish the PLO?s sole decision-making
authority and to back PM Abass?s measures to enforce respect to law and
public order and to end violations thereof.


Lot's more.
