Arafat Outlaws PFLP After Assassination

Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat has outlawed the terrorist group that claimed responsibility for last week's assassination of an Israeli Cabinet minister, ABC reports Monday.

He says the assassins have given Israel the opportunity to further repress the Palestinian people.

Mr Arafat has distanced himself from the organisation which carried out the killing.

Mr Arafat says the armed wing of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) has been outlawed after a meeting of Palestinian security chiefs in Gaza City.

Several senior officials from the PFLP have already been arrested.

Mr Arafat is under pressure from the Israeli Government to hand over the suspects.

But militant Palestinian groups are refusing to cooperate.

Israeli troops and tanks have now occupied several towns in the West Bank.

Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon says the soldiers will remain until terrorist leaders have been captured
