In Gaza, Arafat's Fatah faction issued a stream of leaflets accusing his henchmen of corruption and violence.

If they want our help concerning military action, military bases, soldiers or anything of the sort, then the world has to be consulted. The best thing, if there is evidence, is to get bin Laden and try him. Attacking the Afghans will harm a lot of innocent people which we want to avoid...
