Close aid to Arafat, Palestinian Leader, Barghouti Arrested 12:16 PM:
RAMALLAH - Israel has arrested Marwan Barghouti, a close aide to Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat and a top leader of the Palestinian uprising. Israeli and Palestinian sources say Barghouti was detained in the West Bank town of Ramallah. Israeli troops have reportedly been searching for him since Israel launched its West Bank assault more than two weeks ago. Barghouti is the chief of Arafat's Fatah movement in the West Bank. Israel accuses him of leading the Fatah military wing.

'Divest in Israel' call surfaces on U.S. campuses:
As Middle East violence intensifies, a small but growing number of U.S. students are calling on universities to divest from companies that do business in Israel - an echo of the successful drive to isolate South Africa's former apartheid regime. Led by activists at the University of California, Berkeley, a famous hotbed of student protest, pro-Palestinian and human rights groups are organizing demonstrations and staging sit-ins, hoping to force officials to pull billions of dollars out of investments in Israel.

Survivors of Jenin see destruction:
The old woman did not dare to look out of her window to see the destruction being committed within a few feet of her rose garden, but she could hear it clearly enough. A giant Israeli military bulldozer, mounted with a machine-gun, was crashing through her neighbour’s house, reducing it to dust, close to the edge of the killing fields of Jenin refugee camp.
