THE BATTAL
Hamas threatens ‘all-out war
NABLUS, West Bank (AP) — Threatening bloody revenge,
Islamic militants and supporters of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat
marched side-by-side Wednesday in the funeral procession for
Hamas members killed in an Israeli commando raid, including one
of the group’s top terror masterminds.
Hamas said it would unleash “all-out war” in retaliation for the
killing of four members of its military wing, Izzedine al Qassam.
Israel, in turn, said it would respond to a shooting spree by a
Palestinian gunman who killed two women and wounded 14
bystanders in downtown Jerusalem on Tuesday.
Israel’s new military intelligence chief, Maj. Gen. Aharon Zeevi-
Farkash, told legislators that Israel must brace for a wave of
Palestinian attacks “worse than what we have experienced so far in
Israeli cities,” the Yediot Ahronot daily said.
In a phone call Wednesday, Arafat asked Secretary of State Colin
Powell to send U.S. envoy Anthony Zinni back to the region.
However, State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said there
are no such plans. Palestinian officials said it was the first such
phone call in 15 days.
The four Hamas members were killed before dawn Tuesday in an
Israeli commando raid on their hideout and explosives lab in the
West Bank town of Nablus.
When the Hamas men realized they were surrounded by Israeli
forces, they detonated a bomb that inadvertently blew open the door to
the apartment, military sources said. The commandos killed the four
with handguns equipped with silencers, according to Yediot. Three
men were killed in the sleeping quarters and one in the bathroom.
Among the dead was Yousef Soragji, 42, leader of the Hamas
military wing in the West Bank and a mastermind of several suicide
bombings in Israel.
More than 15,000 people on Wednesday attended the func
Soragji and two other men killed in the hideout. “We will not
our eyes until we see your reprisal.” the crowd chanted, asg
fired in air. The march was led by activists from Hamas andth
Aqsa Brigades, a militia linked to Arafat’s Fatah movement.
Maj. Gen. Yitzhak Eitan. a West Bank army commander, v
explosives lab was the biggest ever uncovered by Israeli forces,
said the commandos found bomb belts, chemicals and a large
tity of weapons “intended for terrorist attacks in the nearfut®
Violence with a vengeance
Both Israelis and Palestinians have blamed each other for the
cycle of attacks and retaliation, which returned after severs
of relative calm. Since September 2000, 902 have died on tfw
Palestinian side and 256 on the Israeli side.

Australia officials investigate spilHice
SYDNEY, Australia (AP) — Officials investigating a large spill
of radioactive waste at a uranium mine in the Australian outback
found there have been 24 other leaks at the site.
Details of the leaks, which were not publicly disclosed at the
time, have prompted the South Australian state government to
review reporting procedures of all such spills, officials told The
Associated Press on Wednesday. The officials said the leaks were
not considered harmful to the public.
Earlier this month, some 15,600 gallons of radioactive fluid
leaked from a pipe at the Beverley uranium mine, 370 miles north
of the state capital, Adelaide. The spill was not publicly disclosed
until more than 24 hours later.
Mine operator, Heathgate Resources, said the liquid was com-
