ARMANI COLLEZIONI TRUNK SHOW Saturday, October 20 The Man's Store Cheering For Terrorism Bin Ladens rhetoric heartens Palestinians, worries Israelis. GIL SEDAN Jewish Telegraphic Agency Jerusalem N owhere else on the planet was Osama bin Laden as popular this week as in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. It took Palestinians a whole night, after the first news spread of the Anglo- American attack on Kabul, before they took to the streets in protest. Like the rest of the world, most Palestinians spent Sunday night glued to their television screens enjoying every second "of the best show in the world," the speech of suspected terror- ist mastermind bin Laden that appar- ently was recorded before the attack had taken place and aired just after- ward on Qatar's al-Jazeera network.

Palestinian protest was limited and the intifada (uprising) continued at its slow, bloody pace.
