Negotiations
Resume In Eilat
Jerusalem (JTA) — A day after
Hamas terrorists made their lat-
est attempt to derail the peace
process, Israeli and Palestinian
negotiators resumed their talks
in Eilat.
The resumption of negotiations
to hammer out an accord for ex-
tending Palestinian self-rule in
the West Bank affirmed Prime
Minister Yitzhak Rabin's vow
that the peace process would con-
tinue despite the latest terror at-
tack.
Negotiators met after two of
the five victims of the suicide
bombing were laid to rest.
A closure imposed on the Gaza
Strip and West Bank in the wake
of the attack was scheduled to be
lifted.
Israeli and Palestinian nego-
tiators who resumed their
meetings in Eilat were reported-
ly planning around-the-clock
discussions in an effort to
conclude an agreement a

. Although the Israeli-Palestin-
ian negotiations were suspended
after the bus bombing, Agricul-
ture Minister Yakov Tsur and
Palestinian delegation head Abu
Alla met to discuss water rights
in the West Bank.
Mr. Tsur had joined the talks
in the hope that upgrading them
to a ministerial level could yield
some forward movement.
But after his discussion with
Abu Alla, he said there was no
progress.
Israel has proposed putting off
the actual definition of water
rights until the permanent-sta-
tus talks, focusing instead now
on dealing with specific problems
surrounding water supplies dur-
ing the interim phase of self-rule.
According to Mr. Tsur, the
Palestinians stood fast in their
demand that their rights to the
aquifers and the Jordan River
sources be declared now.
Jerusalem (JTA) — The Israel
Defense Force chief of staff has
been quoted as telling a Knesset
committee that Iraq has no nu-
clear or chemical weapons to use
against the State of Israel.
Lt. Gen. Amnon Shahak also
told the committee that Iraq
probably had no Scud missiles
and "a very select few" missile
launchers, according to an offi-
cial present at the hearing.
Lt. Geb. Shahak was also quot-
ed as saying that without a
threat from Iraq, Israel would not
have an "eastern front."
His remarks came in the wake
of an interview broadcast on Is-
rael Television last week in
which a member of the Iraqi op-
position said Iraqi leader Sad-
dam Hussein had 37 Scud
missiles remaining in his arse-
nal.
Should Mr. Hussein's regime
collapse, his parting shot would
be to load the missiles with chem-
ical and germ warheads and
launch them at Israel, the Iraqi
official said.
Lt. Gen. Shahak also report-
edly said that Israel looks for-
ward to gaining information
about Iraq's unconventional
weapons program in the wake of
the Aug. 10 defections to Jordan
of two high-ranking members of
Mr. Hussein's regime, both of
whom are Mr. Hussein's sons-in-
law.
After the defections earlier this
month, there was much specula-
tion that Mr. Hussein's regime
was on the verge of collapse.
The Pentagon said that Iraq
was continuing a pattern of un-
usual troop movements, but that
the United States did not believe
that Iraq was on the verge of in-
vading any of its neighbors.
Israel Demands
Extraditions
Jerusalem (JTA) — Israel is
keeping the Palestinian self-rule
enclave of Jericho sealed off from
the rest of the West Bank, de-
manding that the Palestinian
Authority hand over two llamas
militants suspected of planning
last week's suicide bombing of a
bus in Jerusalem.
Palestinian officials, however,
refused to hand over the mili-
tants, saying that the two had
been tried and sentenced in Jeri-
cho and would not be surren-
dered to Israeli authorities.
At the same time, some Israeli
leaders expressed doubts that Is-
rael had the legal justification to
demand the extraditions.
Foreign Minister Shimon
Peres told reporters that Israeli
authorities had investigated the
matter and found that if the fugi-
tives had committed their crimes
