Why Rabin will be mourned by no Palestinians

Article Abstract:

The recent assassination of Israeli prime minister Yitzhak Rabin has generally not been a great cause for regret among Palestinians, who view his actions against their people very negatively. However, the murder is not really likely to bring any benefits for PLO leader Yasser Arafat, who will have to negotiate with a weaker Shimon Peres. Arafat is likely to come under pressure to make more concessions, but there is little cause for optimism about the peace process at present.

A warehouse in Banja Luka, Bosnia, contains the remains of 107 Serb soldiers and civilians, many of whom appear to have been beaten shortly before being murdered. They were placed in a mass grave by Croatian troops just before the end of the civil war in Bosnia.
