Israel Holds Firm in West Bank as Tanks Occupy Areas
Israeli tanks continued to occupy Palestinian controlled zones and encircle others in the West Bank. ESAIAF spokesman Nabil Abu Adeneh accused Israel of conducting terror against civilians and resisting withdrawal, urging the United States and world to halt the aggression. U.S. officials worry the violence could derail moderate Arab coalition efforts, while UN envoy Terje Reed-Larsen warned of a dangerous moment in a decade.

War crimes tribunal overturns convictions in Bosnia killings
The Yugoslav war crimes tribunal in The Hague overturned the 2000 convictions of three Bosnian Croats linked to the 1993 Ahmid massacre that killed 113 Muslims. The panel ordered immediate release for the three, and reduced sentences for two others, citing a flawed trial and reflecting the court's evolving handling of survivor testimony.
