Powell: New Palestinian Leadership Must "Dismantle the Terrorist Infrastructure"
(U.S. State Department) Secretary of State Colin Powell said Sunday in Jerusalem: "We welcome the positive steps, political steps already taken by Palestinian officials towards reform and towards peace, but we must also see rapid, decisive action by the Palestinians to disarm and to dismantle the terrorist infrastructure. Without such action, our best efforts will fail. I will speak with Prime Minister Abbas and his team about how to achieve this."
