The statement Plo would take appropriate measures but did not elaborate. Mizrahi was stabbed to death while buying eggs at farm near the West Bank settlement of Beitel. Arafat attack was carried out by an individual linked to the Palestine liberation organization without orders of the we ask All the parties to oblige with the agreement and South bristles after n. Korea haircut order Seoul South Korea a when North Korea issued orders for its 1.1 million troops to have their Heads shaved it was South Korea that was Abuzz.

Why at this time was North Korea shearing the world s fifth largest army we Analysed the signs and concluded that North Korea does not intend to launch hostile action the minister said. In edgy South Korea even the smallest bits of information about North Korea one of the world s most reclusive nations Are in tensely scrutinized. The. Rival Korea divided since 1945, fought a three year War in the 1950s and face each other across the world s most heavily militarized Border. Relations recently have worsened Over North Korea s refusal to comply with de mands to allow International inspections of its secret nuclear facilities. Intelligence experts believe North Korea is trying to build a nuclear bomb. North Korea gave no clue to its motive for the haircut order but that did t Stop a Rush of speculation in South Korea. Some Western analysts speculated that Heads might be shaved to make it easier for soldiers to Don Gas masks. This could mean North Korea might be getting ready for an attack on the South. Others pointed out that Gas masks have been worn in other wars by people with hair on their Heads and that haircuts would not have to be a prerequisite.

Israel and the Plo signed a peace agreement on sept. 13 that provides for palestinian autonomy in the occupied Gaza strip and West Bank town of Jericho. Arafat s Promise to order a halt of All attacks against israelis had paved the Way for Mutual recognition and the autonomy agreement. Rabin said that if Arafat could t keep his promises on such a Central Issue As refraining from violence it raised doubt about the future of the peace talks. If therefore it becomes Clear that he does t stand by this it would take away the basis for Mutual recognition and certainly the basis for the continuation of the negotiations he told israeli journalists during his visit to the United states. If there will not be a condemnation and a strengthened commitment by the Plo to refrain from terror. This will certainly have Clinton had called on Arafat at a minimum to condemn the killing and other palestinian attacks on israelis.
