2A-- The Michigan Daily - Monday, September 25, 1995 N4ATRoN tO t Israel, PLO reach West Bank TABA, Egypt (AP)-Afterall-night talks, a shouting match and an angry walkout by Yasser Arafat, Israel and the PLO agreed yesterday to sign a pact at the White House ending nearly three decades of Israeli occupation of West Bank cities. The agreement, the second phase of the '993 Israel-PLO peace treaty, was hailed by Palestinian leaders as a major step toward creating their own state. Other Palestinians said it gave them too little, and militant Jewish settlers vowed to do anything necessary to scuttle it. The 460-page pact allows for Pales- tinian self-rule in 30 percent of the West Bank -- containing most of its Arab population - after a step-by-step Israeli pullout. Israel has occupied the lands since the 1967 Mideast War. The plan also allows for Palestinian elections. The accord was initialed in Taba, an Egyptian resort on the Red Sea, by the chief negotiators, Ahmed Qureia of the Palestine Liberation Organization and Israel's Uri Savir, just before the Jew- ish New Year holiday. The signing in Washington is set for Thursday. "We will work so that this new year will be a real year ofpeace," said Arafat, the PLO chairman. "This agreement will open the door for a better future ... to create a new Middle East of security and peace." The agreement followed nightlong talks that capped more than 80 hours of tense negotiations. Earlier yesterday, a shouting match erupted between Arafat and Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres and the PLO leader stormed out. Arafat was angry that Israel refused to expand the borders of the self-rule enclave in Jericho. There were also reports he wanted a more specific time- table for the release of about 5,000 Palestinians in Israeli jails. But Arafat relented after Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin promised to discuss the prisoner issue in Washing- ton before Thursday's signing, Pales- tinian sources said. Other officials said talks got back on track after interven- tion by U.S. Mideast coordinator Den- nis Ross and Egyptian officials. Peres called the accord "history in the real meaning of the word." "It is a tremendous attempt to bring people that were born in the same cradle, who were fighting on the same fronts, to agree on a new future," he said. President Clinton called the agree- ment "a big step on the road to ajust and lasting peace in the Middle East." Clinton telephoned five Israeli and Arab leaders - Rabin, Arafat, King Hussein of Jordan, Pr Mubarak of Egypt and I Morocco - to invite ea formal signing ceremor the White House, said spokeswoman Ginny T Terzano said all ac Hassan, who cited a sch and said he would sen4 tive.

Ten defendants await terror trial verdict NEW YORK - Prosecutors in the biggest terrorism trial in U.S. history accused Sheik Omar Abdel-Rahman and nine others of hatching a "monstrous" plot to kill thousands of people in a series of bombings in New York. But by the time the jury began deliberating Saturday, the defense had put the tactics ofthe nation's top law enforcement agency on trial, accusing the FBI of plotting to frame the defendants to revive its reputation. _ "This case is about one of the biggest and most embarrass- ing moments in the FBI's history," defense lawyer John Jacobs told the jury in U.S. District Court. Abdel-Rahman, ablind, Egyptian religious leader, is charged Abdel-Rahman with leading 14 Muslims in a plot to bomb the United Nations, the FBI's Manhattan offices, the Holland and Lincoln tunnels and the George Washington Bridge - all in a single day. Three defendants pleaded guilty, a fourth testified for the government and a fifth will be tried later. The remaining 10 defendants, if convicted, face maximum prison sentences ranging from life to 20 years. Deliberations continued yesterday and are expected to last about two weeks. __# tUartY 761-9700 *BARGAIN MATINEES 0, L"'STUDASRENTo R4.5EVENINGS BURNT BY Bring in this ad, and receive one II THE SUN AANEN M FR EE20OZ DR INiE A I 1NRD DRINK!

Serving Students since 1970- Militias flock to Expo The Washington Post SEATTLE - After an onslaught of earthquakes ravaged parts of the world from California to Armenia in the late 1980s, Dan Chittock saw a marketing niche. He organized a national trade show on survivalism, figuring people would be eager to prepare for natural disasters. PRINTING LOWEST PRICES! S HIGHEST OUALITY! * FASTESTSERVICEI * 1002 PONTIAC TR. 994-1367 But turnout was slim during the first two years, so Chittock added a new dimension. He enlisted far-right activ- ists to speak at the event about how the federal government was hellbent on destroying individual liberties to create a "New World Order." The message was that survivalisttac- tics should be used not only to brace for devastating acts of God but to with- stand evil and unpredictable acts of man. "I did what talk radio does: I cre- ated a forum for controversial and alternative ideas," Chittock said. "It sells." Six years later, the three-day con- sumer exhibition and conference known as the Preparedness Expo - which opened here Friday - has evolved into one of the largest gatherings of militia members, so-called Christian patriots, tax protesters, white supremacists, survivalists and those striving for self- sufficiency and interested in holistic. health practices. People filed through the gantlet of booths displaying manuals on sniper training and products such as land mines, booby traps and gun silencers. Forbes promotes flat tax inGOP bid WASHINGTON - Although mil- lionaire Steve Forbes' odds of winning the GOP nomination are rather long, his presidential bid guarantees national exposure of an idea increasingly popu- lar in the Republican ranks: a flat in- come tax. Backers of the idea want it to be a central plank of the 1996 Republican platform, and promote it as potentially the defining issue of the presidential and congressional campaigns. In their view, Americans will rush to embrace a simpler system, without all the forms and confusing rules. But, just as Forbes promises to bring the GOP's flat tax fever into the presi- dential race, some Republicans are be- ginning to sound alarms, worrying that simpler might not necessarily translate into fairer-handing President Clinton a political opening. Given the complexity, and enormous distrust, of the current income tax sys- tem, the flat tax has obvious appeal: Everyone would pay one rate, and ev- eryone from Forbes toaminimum-wage fast-food worker could file on a post- card. The leading proposal, and the one backed by Forbes, is that of House Majority Leader Dick Armey, who would replace the current system with a 17-percent flat tax. This plan has impressive support among many conservative groups.
