receiving valuable Palestin-
ian concessions," and not a
government that blinks its
eyes saying that nothing has
changed "while everything
has changed."
The Palestinian
negotiators, meanwhile, are
trying to return to business
to usual.
Mr. Husseini went to Gaza
in an effort to smooth out dif-
ferences with the official
head of the delegation,
Haidar Abdel-Shafi.
Mr. Abdel-Shafi emerged
recently as a chief critic of
the way the negotiations
were being handled and had
passed his criticisms on to
the local Palestinian leader-
ship as well as to PLO leader
Yassir Arafat.
The Israelis and the Pales-
tinians are now getting
ready for the next round of
bilateral negotiations at the
end of this month in Wash-
ington. They are hopeful of
finding a formula that will
get the talks out of the pre-
sent deadlock. ❑

Black Mass Or
Anti-Semitism?

Rome (JTA) — Police here
found what appeared to be
the grisly remains of a
sacrifice outside the Jewish
cemetery in Rome, but it was
unclear whether it was an
anti-Semitic provocation or
remnants of a satanic Black
Mass ritual.
Shortly before midnight, a
security guard noticed a box
outside the cemetery gates
and, fearing it might be a
bomb, called the police
emergency squad.
There has been a spate of
terrorist bombings in Italy
over the past several mon-
ths. The bomb squad,
however, found not an ex-
plosive device inside the box
but rather a small, partially
burned wooden table covered
in black cloth, to which a
heart had been impaled with
four nails, a police spokes-
man said.
"It was the heart of an
animal, not human," he
said.
The spokesman added that
there was nothing specifical-
ly anti-Semitic inherent in
the grisly discovery, no anti-
Semitic slogans or
swastikas.
"To me, it seems more like
the remains of a Black Mass
or something other than an
anti-Semitic act," he said.
But investigators were look-
ing into the possibility that,
given the location, it was a
provocation by neo-Nazi
skinheads. ❑
