GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip (AP) — In a
move that could push Palestinians closer to
civil war, Yasser Arafat cracked down on Is
lamic militants Monday after suicide bomb
ings killed seven Israelis and an American
college student.
Arafat’s security forces arrested 112 fol
lowers of Hamas and the smaller Islamic Ji
had group after Sunday’s deadly back-to-
back bombings near two Jewish settlements
in the PLO-ruled Gaza Strip.
Meanwhile, Washington applauded
Arafat’s tough position.
“We expect the Palestinian authority to
take this type of concrete action against
those within its jurisdiction who seek to de
stroy the peace process through acts of vio
lence and terror,” said State Department
spokeswoman Christine Shelly.
But angry Islamic militant leaders raised
the specter of civil war, apparently trying to
force Arafat to back down.
“If he (Arafat) practices this behavior, we
will defend ourselves by all means,” warned
Mahmoud Zahar, a leader of Hamas, the
most powerful group opposing the faltering
Israel-PLO accord.
Despite the tensions and anger, Israeli
Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin told negotia
tors to resume talks with the Palestine Lib
eration Organization on arranging Palestin
ian elections and an Israeli troop pullback to
allow Palestinian self-rule in the West Bank.
The bombings wounded more than 40 peo
ple, and two of them died Monday, including
Alisa M. Flatow, a 20-year-old junior at
Brandeis University on vacation in the re
gion for Passover.
After doctors declared her brain dead, Al
isa’s father Steve authorized an operation to
remove organs for donation. In a statement,
he said his daughter loved Israel and “her
lasting contribution to the people of Israelii
that her organs were donated for the saving
of lives in need.”
The mood in Israel was somber with fn
nerals held for the victims.
“Stop killing the soldiers,” wailed Pnina
Regev as the body of her son. Staff Sgt. Yu
val Regev.
A military court convened in a hastily
arranged all-night session Monday, and the
three-judge panel imposed a 15-year sen
tence on an Islamic Jihad activist for re
cruiting suicide bombers.
It was the first time a militant had been
sentenced to jail, and Palestinian sources
said Islamic Jihad leader Sheik Abdallah
Shami would be next to stand trial.
Yousef, the PLO police chief, estimated
that Hamas and Islamic Jihad had only
about 150 armed fighters who could easily
be disarmed by Arafat’s 9,000 police. He was
evasive, however, when questioned why this
had not yet occurred.
