Palestinians condition elections on Israeli withdrawal
Palestinian officials said Israel must pull back troops and lift travel restrictions before holding elections for Yasser Arafat to face voters. In Gaza and the West Bank Israeli forces killed four, including a taxi shooting victim and a 7-year-old boy amid clashes. Arafat said elections could not occur while occupied, as Shaath noted plans for 1.6 million voters amid ongoing raids and a US backed truce effort. The Palestinian Parliament demanded a new cabinet and elections by early 2003.

Coalition widens anti terror sweep in Afghanistan
About 1,000 coalition troops moved into eastern Afghanistan to pursue suspected al Qaida or Taliban fighters who fired on an Australian patrol in Paktia province. British commander Brig. Roger Lane called the group a substantial enemy force, though a precise number was not released. U.S. officials later cited roughly 100 militants in the area. Air power supported the British led Operation Condor, with AC-130s assisting Australians. Separately, clashes left at least 10 Afghan tribesmen dead in eastern Afghanistan after ground fighting and air strikes.
