Annan rejects Israeli demands
UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan today refused Israel’s demand to delay and change a UN fact-finding team that will probe Israel’s assault on the Jenin refugee camp and told its members to arrive in the Middle East by Saturday.
The UN Security Council held emergency consultations last night after Israel sought a delay, saying it wanted more military and counter-terrorism experts added to the three-member team and also wanted the group to investigate Palestinian terrorist activities in the camp.
