More than 24 years after the event, and to prevent a battle with the newspaper in the courts, Israeli military censors cleared for publication by Yediot Ahronot a truth - that it was Israeli commandoes who, on 16 April 1988, went all the way to Tunis to murder Abu Jihad, the co-founder with Arafat of Fatah and, at the time of his death, Arafat's number two and most likely successor in the event of his assassination.
Israel has reacted with squirms and wriggles, like a worm on a fishhook, to the trial in Turkey over the deaths of nine unarmed humanitarian aid volunteers on board a ship bound for Gaza.

"All of a sudden, we all turned into war correspondents." That was Hadeel Al-Shalchi's experience in finding herself in the midst of an Arab world suddenly erupting in revolt. She spoke at Carleton University on September 19 about her experience of being a correspondent in a war zone. Al-Shalchi began working overseas for the Associated Press (AP) but now works for Reuters. With budget cuts in the media, she feels fortunate in having the opportunity.
