Peace plan sparks protests
The Associated Press
HEBRON, West Bank — As Israel and the PLO sealed a West Bank autonomy accord yesterday, hard-line Israelis marched in Hebron to accuse their government of treason, and anti-Israel protests erupted in a refugee camp.
Still, most Israelis and Palestinians appeared indifferent or ambivalent to the long-awaited accord, which transfers one-third of the West Bank to PLO leader Yasser Arafat's control after a gradual withdrawal of Israeli occupation troops from West Bank towns.
The White House signing ceremony, broadcast live in the West Bank, set off spontaneous protests at the Dheishe refugee camp, home to 15,000 Palestinians south of Bethlehem. Hundreds of residents tore down sections of a tall chainlink fence the Israeli army erected around the shantytown to
prevent stones from being thrown at Israeli cars.
Troops fired stun grenades to disperse the protesters.
"This fence reminds us of the occupation. If there is peace, there is no need for it," said resident Morad Zzhirari, 24.
Palestinian merchants in Hebron shuttered their shops yesterday to comply with a strike call by the Muslim militant group Hamas. But Palestinians in seven other West Bank towns did not, indicating growing support for Arafat.
A survey conducted among Palestinians indicated that while 70 percent are in favor of peace talks, 60 percent doubt that they will lead to lasting peace with Israel. The survey had a margin of error of 3 percent.
About 2,000 Israeli hardliners opposed to the agreement converged on Hebron last night for a protest timed to coincide with the White House ceremony.
Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Arafat blood brothers and pledging that Hebron never would be Judenrein — the German term used by the Nazis meaning "empty of Jews."
They carried posters branding
Most Jewish settlers in the West Bank arrived after Israel seized the territory in the 1967 Arab-Israeli war.
Rabbi Moshe Levinger, a founding father of the Jewish settler movement, said the government was giving up land promised to the Jewish people by God. "This government is committing treason and murder," he told the crowd.
Earlier yesterday, dozens of Palestinian teen-agers hurled stones at Israeli troops deployed heavily throughout Hebron to prevent clashes. Soldiers grabbed several stone throwers and pushed them into waiting jeeps.
In Jerusalem, Israeli politicians and rabbis opposed to giving up land held a ceremony declaring their biblical right to the land.
Student posing as call girl slain
The Associated Press
PONTIAC, Mich. — A doctoral candidate who descended into the underworld of prostitution for a research project was found slain, and a drifter she had met through an escort service was charged yesterday with her murder.
The Oakland Press of Pontiac quoted unidentified detectives as saying that the victim, Tina Biggar, the 23-year-old daughter of a Coast Guard commander, had been working as a prostitute.
At his arraignment, Kenneth Tranchida, 42, said, "I'm guilty." But no plea was entered, and Judge Stephen Cooper urged Tranchida to speak to a lawyer. Tranchida, who was arrested Monday, was jailed without bail.
Police said they had found Biggar's car in Tranchida's possession. Her blood was found in the trunk, police said.
Biggar, a graduate student in psychology at Oakland University,
was working on a research project on prostitutes and AIDS, funded by the government's Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, when she disappeared Aug. 23.
Her body was found Sept. 21 behind a house where one of Tranchida's relatives once lived in Southfield, a Detroit suburb, police said. An autopsy showed she died from blows to the head and neck.
Police said Biggar had interviewed prostitutes in prison and on the streets for the project and had gone to work for an escort service, where she met Tranchida, who was a customer.
William Dwyer, police chief in Farmington Hills, where Biggar lived, would not say what Biggar did at the service or elaborate on the nature of her relationship with Tranchida.
Tranchida, who has served time for breaking and entering, could get life in prison without parole if convicted.
Tunis, assistant prosecutor, said: "The one reason he gave was that she was complaining about her financial woes. She needed money, so he wanted to put her out of her misery."
Asked about a motive, Gary
Biggar was last seen on the university's Rochester campus. Authorities believe she was killed the day she disappeared.
Bigger had transferred to Oakland University from South Dakota State University to be closer to her parents. Her father is commander of the Coast Guard's Traverse City station.
At a funeral service Wednesday, the Rev. Edwin A. Thome noted that Jesus had spent time with prostitutes and sinners.
"And he, too, suffered the consequences," the minister said. "The self-righteous did not understand. Eventually, they put him to death. Tina had that spirit of adventure, which took her into uncharted waters. And she died for something she believed in."
