From http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/ap/20011008/wl/attacks_palestinians_israel_1.html - start - The Palestinian Authority (news - web sites) also tried to quell expressions of support for the Saudi exile accused of leading the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks in the United States. In Gaza City, police fired tear gas, wielded clubs and shot several live rounds in the air to keep back 150 Islamic University students chanting: ``Long live Palestine, long live Afghanistan (news - web sites), long live Islam.'' Several demonstrators shouted ``Bin Laden, bin Laden.'' Police forced journalists to leave the area. - end - But much of the rest of the article discusses how the PA is repudiating bin Laden support: ``It's true that there is an unfair situation and continuous crimes and killings exerted against the Palestinians,'' he said. ``This does not justify or give cover for anyone to kill or terrorize innocent civilians.'' - PA info minister Rabbo Bravo for those words, I say.
