Passengers, including U.S. Ambassador Barbara Bodine, exited down the plane's emergency chute as the drama ended. Because of the hijacking, Bodine missed an appointment with Yemeni President Ali Abdullah Saleh at which the deadly terrorist attack on the USS Cole and increased security cooperation was expected to have been discussed. Bodine, who was accompanied by other embassy staff, flew from Djibouti back to the Yemeni capital, San'a, later yester- day. Aides said she would not com- ment on the hijacking. In Washington, State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said "really terrific action" on the part of the crew, airline officials and Yemeni authorities helped foil the hijacking. The hijacker, armed with a small handgun and possibly a grenade, was subdued by members of the Boeing 727's seven-person crew. The man was identified as Mohammed Yehia Ali Sattar, a Yemeni who said he wanted to fly to Baghdad airport, where a series of flights seen as challenges to Iraq's international isolation have landed in recent months, Yemen's state-run Saba news agency said. Abdulmejid Tarek of the immigra- tion police at Djibouti airport said the hijacker was hospitalized in the Horn of Africa nation across the Gulf of Aden from Yemen, apparent- ly with injuries inflicted by his own gun. Tarek had no details. Acting U.S. Embassy spokes- woman Donna Visocan, contacted in San'a, said the embassy had no information on the fate of the hijack- er, his motives or demands. But she said officials heard he had been unaware passengers included U.S. diplomats. Bodine had been taking Yemenia airlines Flight 448 from San'a to Taiz, 125 miles south, for a meeting with the president. Gen. Tommy Franks, the Florida- based commander of the U.S. Cen- tral Command, was already in Taiz to meet with Saleh, Visocan said. She said U.S. Embassy officials had been confident the Yemenis could provide adequate airport secu- rity and it was too early to say whether the hijacking would altdr that impression Tribal kidnappings as challengesa to central authority are a regular haz > ard for road travelers in parts of Yemen, but security is generally tighahi, at Yemeni airports, where Yemenri? men are required to hand over their' traditional daggers during flights. Yemeni airport officials said the hijacker used the aircraft's radio to speak to them about 15 minutes into the half-hour flight, saying he would,. blow up the plane if it were not diverted to Djibouti. The officials, who spoke on condi- tion of anonymity, said they believed he was armed with a grenade and a pistol. The hijacker also told the tower he was a supporter of Iraq and Iraqi President Saddam G. Hussein, whose troops were forced out of Kuwait a decade ago in the. Persian Gulf War. The Saudi carrier Saudia has a 49 percent stake in Yemenia, formed in 1996 with the meiger of Yemenia Airlines of the former North Yemen and Al-Yemda of once-Marxist South Yemen. The unified Yemeni government owns 51 percent of the- airline. Mideast peace talks suspended 1=800426-7710 , wI usuaho mEi BEST DEALS! Panama City/Padre Daytona/Hilton Head Breckenridge s800SUNCHASE www sunchase.COM The Washington Post TABA, Egypt - Israel suspended peace talks with the Palestinians yesterday after masked gunmen seized two Israelis from a restaurant in the Palestinian controlled city of Tulkarm on the West Bank and shot them execution-style. The operations wing of a radical Palestinian group, the Islamic Resistance Movement, or Hamas, took responsibility for the killings, say- ing the two victims were members of Israel's Shin Bet security agency. Israeli media reported the two were restau- rant 'owners who had gone to Tulkarm with an Arab-Israeli friend to shop for earthenware pot- tery, a local specialty. The killings seemed likely to erode already weak Israeli support for the peace talks even as they had begun to make progress. They were fol- lowed by an immediate recall of the leaders of Israel's delegation from the negotiations at this Egyptian resort near Eilat. The discussions were billed as a "marathon" round of bargaining that might last as long as 140 days. But the office of Prime Minister Ehud Barak released a statement saying he will hold "consul- tations" with the Israeli negotiating team today to determine whether they will resume at all. In the meantime all contact will stop. The talks were in their third day and both sides indicated differences were narrowing on issues like how much additional land Israel will turn over to a future Palestinian state. New proposals on control of religious sites in Jerusalem were also on the table, with Barak telling high school students in Israel he support- ed "joint management" of an expanded "holy basin" of Jewish,Christian and Muslim religious sites. Despite that breath of optimism, the fresh violence on the West Bank could mean the end of Barak's last-ditch effort to forge at least the outlines of a peace agreement before Feb. 6 elec- tions in which he is running against the conserv- ative Likud Party leader and former defense minister, Ariel Sharon. Barak called the killings "horrendous" and pledged to hunt down those responsible. Yasser Arafat's Palestinian Authority also condemned the killings and said they were car- ried out by "irresponsible and suspicious ele- ments." The statement was an unusual move that sug- gested an eagerness to move forward with the talks and marked a breach in the alliance Pales- tinian officials had maintained with Hamas dur- ing the recent fighting. As the negotiations began on Sunday, Israeli officials had noted a substantial decrease in protests, shootings and other violence after 3 1/2 months in which clashes between Israelis and Palestinians have killed more than 360 people, most of them Palestinians. The new killings not only shattered that lull, but could bolster Sharon's arguments that Israel must take a tougher line with the Palestinians, not try to woo them with election-season con- cessions. Sharon, who has built up a large lead over Barak in the race for prime minister, said in a statement that "We are talking about an unceas- "We should stop the negotiations immediately as it is impossible to conduct negotiations under the threat of terrorist acts." --- Ariel Sharon Likud Party leader BOXING CLUB Attention Underclassmen!

We should stop the nego'tia- tions immediately as it is impossible to conduct negotiations under the threat of terrorist acts." Tulkarm has been a frequent flashpoint during the recent Israeli-Palestinian clashes, and few Israelis have ventured there since the fighting began. According to Israeli media reports, the two were abducted along with an Arab colleague, who was released. The two Jewish Israelis were then shot in the head and their bodies were dumped ina field close to a nearby Palestinian refugee camp. Palestinian police later found the bodies and turned them over to Israeli authorities. The peace talks had been proceeding compar- atively well. Beginning Sunday, the Palestinian and Israeli participants had broken into working groups to address the major outstanding issues. THE UNDERGRAD.
