Bush calls on Arafat to 'root out' killers
AFP - US President George W Bush renewed a demand that Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat hunt down those responsible for a string of weekend suicide bombings and bring them to justice.
"It is incumbent upon Mr Arafat now to respond forcefully, to root out those who killed," Bush said during a town hall-style meeting on his first visit to Florida since September 11 terror strikes on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon.
"It's incumbent upon other friends and allies of ours around the world to help bring those terrorists to justice if we want peace in the Middle East, which I do," said Bush, who met Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon on Sunday.
"We cannot let a few prevent the many from achieving a dream, which is lasting peace in the Middle East," he said after being asked by an audience member what the United States was doing to help Israel.
"I hope that happens. I hope it happens for the sake of Israel. I hope it happens for the sake of the Palestinians, who suffer because of the lack of job opportunity and killing and war," the president said.
