Palestinian Leader condemns US terrorist attacks

Yasser Arafat, leader of the Palestinian Fatah movement, today condemned the attack on the US, saying the Palestinian people were outraged by what had happened.

“I send my condolences to American President Bush and his government and to the American people for this terrible act” he told reporters in Gaza.

Earlier, Palestinian terrorists were accused of carrying out the carnage, which they have since vigorously denied.
