Landmark Speech #12,401
I am copying this directly from Charles Johnson's fabulous littlegreenfootballs.com weblog. As usual, Charles has hit the nail on the head.
Agence France Press calls Yasser Arafat’s latest condemnation of terrorism “a landmark speech.”
RAMALLAH, West Bank (AFP) - Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat and prime minister Mahmud Abbas for the first time described Palestinian attacks as "terrorist operations" and called on all factions to declare an immediate ceasefire.
Arafat made his landmark speech live on television from his battered Ramallah compound after one of the worst eruptions of violence in the 32-month-old intifada left 30 people dead in two days.
"I strongly condemn the terrorist operation in Jerusalem, as strongly as I condemn the assassination attempt against (Abdul Aziz) al-Rantissi," Arafat said.
A Google search for “Arafat condemns terrorism” returns 12,400 results.
