Arafat proposes withdrawal to ease Lebanon conflict
PLO leader Yasser Arafat says he offered to pull loyal fighters from eastern Lebanon to avoid clashes with Syrian troops and Palestinian rebels. He also proposed a observers team to police the cease fire among rival PLO factions and acknowledged the two month mutiny in Fatah. He noted Syria’s expulsion separated him from his army, limiting the anti Israeli campaign as efforts focus on resolving the rift.
