The Rev. Gregory Polan. abbot of Conception, said he was shown a driver’s license of the shooter and that “we have no sense of who this man is." The gunman, whose name was not released, was from Kearney, 70 miles south of the abbey. The names of the two monks — a 64-year-old and a man in his 80s also were not immediately released. Of the wounded, one was in serious condition at Heartland Regional Medical Center in St. Joseph and the other was in sur gery Monday at St. Francis Hospital in Maryville. Their connection to the abbey was not immediately known. Polan said monks heard nois es about 8:40 a.m. and barred themselves in their rooms when they realized a gun was being fired. "There’s a lot of shock and* sadness,’’ Polan said. “These Joseph archdiocese, saic office had no comment or shootings. When asked if could be related to the. scandal she said: We know.

Sharon, too, suggested there won’t be peace until anti-Israeli terrorism ends and Arafat is replaced. “We must have a partner for negotia tions,” the prime minister told Bush. “We don’t see a part ner yet.” The criti cism of Arafat from both lead ers came as Israel’s tanks surrounded Arafat’s bat tered West Bank com pound and Israeli troops arrest ed 27 suspected Palestinian mil itants — actions the United States defended as a temporary crackdown. Sharon did not get every thing he wanted from Bush dur ing their hour-long session and separate lunch. The president stopped short of endorsing calls to expel Arafat, and aides said he would pursue political talks despite Sharon’s misgivings. The sixth meeting between Bush and Sharon is expected to be the president’s final major consultation session before he unveils a Mideast initiative that aides say will address the con cerns of both Israelis and Arabs.
