Yasir Arafat is a free man. Israeli forces have begun to leave Arafat's compound in Ramallah after a five month confinement. The move comes after six Palistinian prisoners were taken by diplomatic convoy from the compound to a prison in Jericho. Meanwhile, fresh gunfire erupted around the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem on Wednesday. The church marks the traditional birthplace of Jesus and has been a hotpoint of battle since April when over 200 Palestinians took refuge inside after Israeli forces invaded the West Bank. Closer to home, former Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak told reporters Israel needs to take a tougher stand against terrorism. He spoke at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire Wednesday. After meeting with students, Barak told reporters Israel should take a harder stance, but leave a open door to negotiations at any time. |

| Call to Resign Return to index of stories... |
There's an effort underway to get Manchester Bishop John MCormack to resign. A petition calling for McCormack to step down has been sent to the lay people of several New Hampshire Roman Catholic parishes. The petition was started by UNH Professor Jim Farrell. He says he launched the effort when news about the bishop's alleged role in the Boston Archdiocese sex abuse scandal broke. Farrell says McCormack ignored warnings that priests were molesting children. McCormack has said he is sorry for the harm done by abusive priests, and that he never reassigned a priest to ministry who he believed would harm children. |
