Arafat
Continued from page 1
al-Shamaliya. A soldier and two Hamas militants
were killed, the army said.
One of the militants was identified as Taher
Nasser, 28, a leader of the Hamas military wing
in the Nablus area. Israel says he was wanted
for direct responsibility in attacks on Israelis,
including the Dec. 12 ambush of a bus that
killed 10 Israelis.
Less than a mile from Arafat’s compound,
masked gunmen pulled three suspected
Palestinian infonners for Israel out of their cars
in a downtown square and shot them with auto
matic rifles. One man later died. The gunmen
said they were from A1 Aqsa Martyrs Brigade, a
militia linked to Arafat’s Fatah movement.
Israeli troops have left most Palestinian cities
in the West Bank after an incursion lasting more
than three weeks. In their wake, however,
Palestinian Authority government ministries are
in shambles, Palestinians said.
Israeli troops ripped out computer hard drives,
seized documents and trashed offices not related
to Israel’s search for militants, Palestinians said.
Israelis took the medical records of thousands
of patients from the Health Ministry, the student
database from a computer at the Education
Ministry and the car registration list from the
Transportation Ministry, Palestinians said.
The troops also blew up a safe in the
Education Ministry and took $8,000 from it. said
Salah Soubani, director of information at the
Education Ministry.
“Our ministries were nearly completely
destroyed,” said Palestinian Information Minister
Yasser Abed Rabbo. “This was not done as a
mistake in one or two places. This was done in
every single ministry.”
Raanan Gissin, a spokesperson for Israeli
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, said the
Education Ministry “is not necessarily where
the terrorists will be found, but it was a major
source of incitement.”
“We had to gather this material for the pur
pose of exposing the extent and the virulent
nature of the incitement,” which encouraged sui
cide bombers, Gissin said.
The American envoy. State Department offi
cial William Burns, met Arafat for about two
hours at the Palestinian leader’s compound,
where about 300 aides, security guards and for
eign volunteers have been confined to several
rooms by Israeli troops since March 29.
As Burns met Arafat, an Israeli bulldozer
destroyed several cars parked outside and began
building a rampart, said Netta Golan, an Israeli-
Canadian activist in the compound. Burns came
out to see what was going on before resuming the
meeting, she said.
