Israel Won't Allow Return of Bethlehem Church Siege Gunmen
(Jerusalem Post) Israel will not allow 13 Palestinian terrorists deported to European countries in May 2002 following the siege of the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem to return to the Palestinian territories. According to EU reports, the fugitives' stay in EU countries has been extended twice, and cannot be legally extended a third time. Israeli officials said that should the fugitives find their way into the Palestinian territories, "they would meet with justice," Army Radio reported. Residents of Bethlehem have complained that some of the fugitives, especially those belonging to Fatah, had imposed a reign of intimidation in the city.
