Yassin denied he was chairing a Hamas leadership meeting at the time of the strike. The air force used the smaller bomb than in previous strikes to avoid harm to bystanders, Israeli officials said.

Speaker Qureia will probably one of many prime ministers as long as Arafat runs the show.

The roadmap has been dead from the start. I say let Israel go clean house, then talk about it.
