"This reminds us that people in our past have tried to intimidate and put fear into Americans,” Moose said. “This a strong nation ... and we will not be intimidated.” At the sprawling Covenant Life Church in Gaithersburg, Va., pastor CJ. Mahaney urged Sunday worshippers to turn off their televisions and turn to God. “I am concerned there is too little faith and too much fear,” the preacher said from the pulpit. The victims, in Maryland, Virginia and Washington. D.C., were shot as they carried out daily errands, including mowing grass, shopping and pumping gas. Four were killed at service stations. County, state and federal investigators won’t say if they know much about the killer, whose only apparent communication to police was a tarot card left at one shooting scene with the words, "Dear Policeman, I am God.” Moose refused to comment on reports that the FBI has asked the Pentagon to search its records for recently discharged GIs who had gone through sniper school. FBI spokesman Mike Saltz declined to comment on any investigative leads and the ATF’s Bouchard said: “I don't think you need special training. Obviously the person has practiced before.” Investigators also would not discuss reports that a scrap of paper found at the site of the latest killing contained scribbled directions from north ern Maryland to the Capital Beltway. Authorities told residents to keep looking for a white truck matching composite images released Saturday and based on witness descriptions from more than one shooting. With no known shootings since Friday morn ing, a reporter asked Moose if he was worried about Monday. One week ago, the killer apparent ly took the weekend off, only to strike again on Monday, Oct. 7. "We won’t make any assumptions about any kind of pattern.” Moose said. “I never approach Monday morning with a sense of dread.'’ EU Notes Continued from pagel One of the ways the El Center reaches students through education, such as workshops that are open to one on a first come, first sent basis.

Mohammed Shtewie Abayat was speak ing on the phone just outside the Beit Jalla Hospital near the West Bank city of Bethlehem when it blew up, killing him instantly, according to doctors. Relatives said he belonged to a militia linked to Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat’s Fatah movement. Palestinians blamed Israel, as they have when two other members of the Abayat clan were killed over the past two years. The Israeli military declined to comment. There were concerns that the killing of Abayat could lead some Palestinians to seek retaliation. In other violence Sunday, Palestinians said a 4-year-old boy was fatally shot during what the Israeli army described as a firefight when tjoops entered the Rafah refugee camp to search for weapons smuggling tunnels in the southern Gaza Strip. Also, the U.S. Ambassador to Israel, Daniel Kurtzer, sent a strongly worded mes sage to Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s office over the weekend, saying Israel had not met promises to ease tough restrictions imposed on the Palestinians, a diplomatic source said. The move comes as Sharon prepared to depart for the United States on Monday in advance of a Wednesday meeting with President Bush at the White House. The Bush administration has strongly supported Israel in the Mideast conflict, especially in recent months. However, Kurtzer’s letter called for Israel to ease its military grip on the West Bank Palestinian cities it occupied after suicide bombings in June, allow Palestiniansgrw freedom of movement and turn over wi held taxes that Israel collected on belia the Palestinians, according to thediplo ,,u source and Israeli newspapers. Israel’s Cabinet on Sunday discusse^ possibility of removing some mn blockades in and around Palestinian and handing over the tax money. Cabinet Secretary Gideon Saai sai decision was taken, and Israel s resp. would depend on cessation of Pal esl attacks. He said the subject would be agenda when Sharon and Bush meet. " In Beit Jalla, Abayat's brother P said the two had brought their mother hospital and 28-year-old Mohamrne outside to use the public telepho^ . “started to speak on it and it sudden y , up.
