EU envoy Miguel Moratinos said the 18 Palestinians flown to Cyprus after the Bethlehem siege are free men, not prisoners or deportees, having signed voluntary agreements to go to a third country. Twelve stay under police guard at a Larnaca hotel, one is in hospital with a leg wound.

Unity of faiths at Nativity Church ends Bethlehem siege
In Bethlehem the Church of the Nativity sees rare ecumenical prayer as Roman Catholic Latin Patriarch Michel Sabbah and Greek and Syrian Orthodox leaders join hands in the grotto and recite the Lord's Prayer in Arabic. The 39 day standoff ended with militiamen deported and Israeli troops withdrawing. Volunteers scrub the basilica and prepare a service led by Cardinal Roger Etchegaray to carry Papal blessing.

Russians bury dead killed in terrorist bomb blast
Sixteen coffins lined a parade ground as a funeral for Russian servicemen and a naval officer’s son followed the July blast in Kaspusk. The toll rose to 42 with another death, while over 100 were injured. Flags draped the caskets as officials praised the dead and a Russian navy deputy commander read condolences from Putin and Ivanov. Three suspects in St. Petersburg were flown to Makhachkala for questioning, tied to a group with ties to Chechnya and Wahhabism.
