UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan said he plans to disband a fact-finding team today that was to investigate the Israeli assault of the Jenin refugee camp.

Palestinian gunmen infiltrated a Jewish settlement in the West Bank today and killed three residents, shortly after Israel ended its latest raid on a Palestinian city in search of militants, warning that it would pursue militants wherever it must.

United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan has urged Israel to stop its assault on Yasser Arafat’s headquarters, saying destroying it will not bring peace.
