Palestinian security power struggle hinders new government
Talks between Palestinian Prime Minister Ahmed Qureia and Yasser Arafat failed to resolve control over security forces as the deadline nears. A 16 year old bomber from Nablus killed himself near Israeli troops in Azzoun, while parliament approved Rafig Natche as speaker, a role that could make him acting leader if Arafat steps aside. The core dispute remains Arafat’s hold on security units and the interior minister appointment.
