EIGHT Hamas activists suspected of
breaking into the house of Palestinian peace talks delegate Dr. Saeb Erekat and
threatening his life were arrested over the weekend in Jericho, army sources
said.
The sources said that on April 15
members of the Moslem fundamentalist group broke into Erekat's house while he
was abroad.
The suspects, who were masked,
threatened members of Erekat's family that they would be harmed if he did not
leave the peace talks immediately. The suspects also broke furniture and
damaged documents.
The sources said that
orders for the attack came from the camp of the Hamas deportees in Southern
Lebanon.
