Truth the victim in American crackdown

Article Abstract:

The US Justice Department is using flawed evidence in its efforts to deport Algerian Islamic Salvation Front (FIS) spokesman Anwar Haddam. He was official FIS spokesman in the US from 1992 until Dec 1996, when he was arrested following the expiry of his immigration status. A senior member of the Community of Saint Egidio, which set up a peace meeting between the FIS and legal Algerian opposition parties in 1994, states that Haddam has always called for a political settlement. However, the State Department is ignoring this evidence, and is using other evidence which indicates that he should be deported.

Red Army arrests bring Japan's media brigade to Beirut, then trail goes cold

Article Abstract:

There is considerable confusion surrounding the recent arrest in Lebanon of Japanese people who are apparently members of the Japanese Red Army, a pro-Palestinian movement which was responsible for serious acts of violence in Asia, Europe and the Middle East in the 1970s. There are many different theories about why the arrests took place, and the incident has been the subject of much media attention and speculation. Japanese journalists are now touring the villages of the Bekaa Valley in search of a further 40 claimed Red Army members whom Israel claims live there.

Catastrophe awaits the peace-makers

Article Abstract:

The forthcoming summit in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, will serve only to highlight the fact that the Middle East peace process could collapse at any moment. The political leaders attending the summit have not even been able to agree on whether its main focus should be a fight against 'world terrorism' or calls for further concessions from Israelis and Arabs, so it is very unlikely that they will be able to save the Middle East peace process. There will be shows of unity, but they will only be very superficial.
