Barak Extends Deadline to Seek Talks Amid Violence
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak extended the deadline and signaled willingness to attend a US sponsored peace summit as violence surged across the West Bank and Gaza. A 12 year old Palestinian boy was critically wounded in Gaza. Dozens of Palestinians threw stones and firebombs at troops near Ramallah while Israel used rubber bullets and tear gas. International mediators including Kofi Annan and Javier Solana pushed efforts to restore calm as calls grew for an international inquiry into the clashes.

Virginia applies parental notification to abortion pill RU-486
Virginia officials say its 1997 parental notification law covers the abortion pill RU-486, making it possibly the first state to extend such laws to the drug. FDA approved RU-486 amid legal and policy debates as lawmakers weigh Medicaid funding and medical implications. Virginia AG Earley supported the interpretation, while abortion rights groups anticipate similar rulings in other states.
