Israeli airstrikes near Arafat offices kill two in Gaza
Israeli bombs and missiles strike yards near Yasser Arafat's Ramallah offices and across Gaza, killing two and wounding about 150 as Prime Minister Sharon warns the Palestinian leader to crack down on militants. Arafat accuses Israel of trying to sabotage his war on terrorism amid weekend attacks that killed 26 and wounded nearly 200. Kitrey says raids targeted Palestinian Authority installations to hit the militants' secret headquarters while Arafat tells CNN Sharon aims to undermine his efforts. The Palestinian Authority has detained around 130 suspected militants.
