Sharon-Abbas summit unlikely to ease tensions - TheNewsTribune.com (subscription)
STEVEN ERLANGER; The New York Times Published: October 16th, 2005 12:01 AM Enlarge image JERUSALEM – At their first summit meeting last February, at Sharm el-Sheik, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon complained loudly to Mahmoud Abbas, the new Palestinian president, about the Palestinian Authority’s self-defeating lassitude about terrorism. Sharon described the case of Hasan al-Madhoun, a Gazan and former member of the Palestinian preventive security forces who was responsible, the Israelis said, for organizing a suicide bombing at Ashdod in March 2004. Sharon asked Abbas to “at least make a start,” and provided Madhoun’s Gaza address. Abbas promised to arrest him within 48 hours, according to Israeli officials.
