Israeli police arrested an active duty sergeant and his father in connection with the Yitzhak Rabin assassination. A weapons cache was found at their home in a Tel Aviv area suburb.

Powell decision stirs black voters toward GOP appeal
Washington reports disaffected black voters see Gen Colin Powell's refusal to run as a chance for the Republican Party to broaden its appeal. He pledges a centrist, Lincoln spirit move, while critics urge an urban agenda and a nonracial approach to attract people of color and reverse long Democratic dominance. Rep J C Watts notes polling shows 31 percent of blacks not identifying with Democrats, with limited GOP traction. In 1994 black voters were 90 percent Democratic and 10 percent Republican.
