...Yehuda street is one of Jerusalem's best known and well-traversed thoroughfares, a pedestrian mall where teenagers and soldiers on leave like to gather. But late Saturday night, at approximately 11:40 p.m., two blasts turned it into an abattoir of human limbs, blood and wreckage. "We heard a huge blast and then another one," said one off-duty police official on the scene. "We saw a lot of smoke. People were lying on the street. People were screaming and a lot of people were running from the place of the explosions...
...Israeli agents, it can be dangerous work. In June Lieut. Colonel Yehuda Edri of Unit 504, which runs the Israeli army's West Bank network of Palestinian informants, died when a collaborator he had gone to meet outside Bethlehem shot him.

Your report on Secretary of State Madeleine Albright's mission to the Middle East [WORLD, Sept. 15] missed the central point. Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat has no choice but to re-embrace Hamas, the group responsible for the Ben Yehuda bombing, and other firebrands, because his life is at stake. The Palestinian populace has rejected him and his inept internal policies. Arafat was once a hero to the average Palestinian, but no longer. Lacking ballots, the frustrated populace may resort to bullets. Arafat knows this, and his reaction has been to sacrifice everything the Palestinian movement has achieved to save...
