...officials said the bombing, in which explosives in a parked car injured 15 people, was another sign of an all-out war by Islamic fundamentalists against the peace process. But the attack failed to overshadow the unprecedented appearances before Congress. Jordan's King Hussein and Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin drew whoops and standing ovations from U.S. lawmakers by vowing to make their peace agreement work at home. The show doesn't come cheap.

Iran has denied involvement in the Buenos Aires attack, which killed 26 people and injured over...
...long-delayed arrival brought to fruition the tentative peace agreement that Arafat and Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin approved on the White House lawn last September. When he stepped onto Palestinian land for the first time in 27 years last Friday, Arafat was wearing his usual green military- style uniform, holstered pistol and checkered kaffiyeh. But he acknowledged that he must now switch roles from guerrilla leader to head of government. "We need national unity," he told a crowd of 70,000, who repeatedly drowned out his words with cheers.
