Arafat: Israel must end violence first
The Associated Press
RAMALLAH, West Bank — Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat rebuffed Secretary of State Colin Powell's demand yesterday for a halto violence, saying Israel first must withdraw its troops from the West Bank.
Powell, shuttling back to Israel for a meeting in Tel Aviv, then pressed Prime Minister Ariel Sharon for a complete pullback, a U.S. official said. Sharon renewed his proposal for an international peace conference - without Arafat, but with Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and Syria invited, an aide said.
A senior U.S. official said the idea was
discussed "as part of a way to move forward politically."but that more talks were needed.
The headquarters showed the effects of Israeli bombardment. A gaping hole marred the facade, and the walls were blackened with bullet marks.
Powell was driven to the besieged compound in a motorcade of armored-plated SUVs, shielded by U.S. security personnel with submachine guns.
mums, then complained bitterly and extensively to Powell about Israel's military thrust into Palestinian-held towns and villages, and especially its actions in Jenin and a refugee camp in the town.
A senior aide, Saeb Erekat, said Arafat stood by his commitments, including an end to violence. But, Erekat said after the three-hour meeting, that meant "once the Israelis
complete the withdrawal we will, as Palestinians, then carry out our obligations."
gee camp in President Bush has demanded a pullback right away, but Sharon refused to provide a timetable when he saw Powell on Friday in Jerusalem. They were meeting again yesterday night in Tel Aviv.
Powell, in a brief statement to reporters, called his meeting with Arafat useful and constructive.

Priest accused of abuse remains active in church
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Catholic Diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph has admitted that a retired priest accused of child sexual abuse remains active, but only in a role that officials say doesn't put children at risk.
Diocese Vicar General Patrick R. Rush told The Kansas City Star for a story Saturday that four other retired priests have faced sexual abuse accusations as well. Those four priests also have varying levels of activity in the diocese, Rush said.
In the case of the fifth priest, the diocese paid $20,000 in 1999 to settle a civil lawsuit accusing him of sexually abusing a former teen-age parishioner, the diocese said.
That priest, the Rev. Thomas J. Ward, 69, is retired but has been listed as "assisting priest" at St. Margaret's Catholic Community parish in Lee's Summit. In a deposition, he denied the accusations.
