UN Pulls Backing for Palestinian Women's Center Named for Terrorist
(AP-ABC News) Ilan Ben Zion - Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said Sunday that the UN has stopped supporting a Palestinian community center in the West Bank named for Dalal Mughrabi, a woman who participated in a 1978 bus hijacking in Israel in which 38 civilians were killed. "The glorification of terrorism, or the perpetrators of heinous terrorist acts, is unacceptable under any circumstance," Guterres said. The UN announcement came a day after Norway pulled its funding for the center.
