Israel attacks Islamic Jiha
base in Syria in retaliation

MAJDAL SHAMS, Golan
Heights — Israel bombed a tar
get inside Syria that it claimed
was an Islamic Jihad training
base, striking deep inside its
neighbor’s territory Sunday for
the first time in three decades
and widening its pursuit of
Palestinian militants.
The airstrike — a retaliation
for a suicide bombing Saturday
that killed 19 Israelis — alarmed
the Arab world and deepened
concerns that three years of
Israeli-Palestinian violence
could spread through the region.
Washington urged both sides
to show restraint — but added
pointed criticism of Syria, saying
Damascus “must cease harboring
terrorists and make a clean break
from those responsible for plan
ning and directing terrorist action
from Syrian soil.”
With little option for military
retaliation, Syria turned for
international support. On
requests from Damascus, the
U.N. Security Council and the
22-member Arab League held
emergency sessions Sunday as
Syria’s foreign minister Farouq
al-Sharaa sought measures to
deter Israeli “aggression.”

Fayssal Mekdad called on the

council to adopt a resolution
condemning the attack.
Israel continues “to flout the
Charter of the United Nations to
the point that Arabs and many
people across the globe feel that
Israel is above law,” Mekdad said.
Israel’s Ambassador Dan
Gillerman spoke immediately
after Mekdad and defended the
attack. He accused Syria of pro
viding “safe harbor, training facil
ities, funding, logistical support”
to terrorist organizations.
Syria’s draft calls for Israel to
stop acts that could threaten
regional security. It was unclear
when the council would vote on
the resolution, but a decision
appeared unlikely Sunday.
Leaders of Islamic Jihad and
other militant groups are based in
Syria, but Jihad on Sunday denied
having any training bases there.
Syrian villagers near the targes
site said the camp had been 11®
by Palestinian gunmen
1970s but was later aba
and was now only used by |
nickers and other visitors to
spring and olive groves.
The raid was a dramaticnn
tactic for Israel in its attemptsu
stop Palestinian militant.
Closures, assassinations anil
military strikes into Palestinii
areas have failed to stops
attacks, and Washington strong
ly opposes expelling Palestine
leader Yasser Arafat as Israelh:
threatened.
Israel said the bombing sij
naled it would pursue militan
wherever they found support-
and it added an accusation Ih;
Iran also backs Islamic Jiliat
“Any country who harbors let
rorism, who trains (terrorists;
supports and encourages then
will be responsible toanswerfoi
their actions,” government
spokesman Avi Pazner said.
In the West Bank, Palestinian
leader Yasser Arafat declared a
state of emergency and installed
an eight-member emergency
Cabinet with Ahmed Qureiaas
prime minister. The hasty action
was an apparent attempt to
deflect possible Israeli action
against Arafat following the sui
cide bombing since Israel has
threatened to expel him.

CHICAGO (AP) — McDonald’s plans to intro
duce a new, all white-meat Chicken McNugget
with less fat and fewer calories, the latest move
by the fast-food giant to offer healthier fare.
In the next six weeks, McDonald’s will begin
offering the smaller McNuggets in all of its
13,600 U.S restaurants, the Chicago Tribune
reported in Sunday’s edition.
The revamped McNuggets are designed to meet
a growing consumer preference for chicken breast
meat. The change is a big, and some say risky,
move for the Oak Brook-based company.
Ever since McDonald’s first unveiled
McNuggets in 1983, they have been one of the
restaurant’s most popular entrees, especially
among children.
“It’s clear now that consumers prefer while
meat, so we started to work on how we migtl
evolve the McNugget to a situation where its
now all white meat,” said Wendy Cook,
McDonald’s vice president of menu innovation.
The new six-piece McNuggets will contain 260
calories, down from 310 calories, and 16 total
grams of fat, down from 20 grams.
