Palestinians Clash in Lebanon...
...White House in 1996 will be determined in the struggle between the party's bomb- throwing congressional wing and its governing faction in the statehouses and mayor's offices -- both of which showed remarkable success in Tuesday's voting.

The Georgians will not forgive you." He also hears of nearly 40 border conflicts, none more bitter than the clash between Muslim Azerbaijan and the enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh. Geographically separated from Armenia, the Christian majority of Nagorno- Karabakh sees itself as a forgotten outpost of Western civilization in a rising sea of born-again Muslims.
