MIDEAST-PALESTINIAN-ARAFAT-SABBAH

Picture released 19 September 2002 by the Paelstinain press office (PPO) shows Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat (L) shaking hands with Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem Monsignor Michel Sabbah following their meeting in the West Bank city of Ramallah. The Palestinian leadership condemned the suicide attack bombing of a Tel Aviv bus that killed five people, and asked all Palestinian groups to also denounce it, but stopped short of calling for a halt to such strikes.
