Symbolic Palestinian independence day turns deadly clashes
Palestinians marked independence day with funeral processions and rock throwing as Israeli fire killed six people in the West Bank and Gaza. Arafat avoided a proclamation and urged peace talks, while Israel maintained a clampdown and gunmen briefly fired from Ramallah high rise. Diplomatic efforts continued with Dennis Ross meeting Arafat and Shlomo Ben-Ami. At least 36 Palestinians were wounded and total death toll since Sept. 28 stood at 217.
