Blair Heckled in West Bank Visit
--------------------------------



In other Mideast news, a Palestinian protester confronted former British
Prime Minister Tony Blair on Tuesday as Blair visited the West Bank city
of Hebron. Blair currently serves as Middle East peace envoy for the
Quartet of the European Union, the United States, Russia and the United
Nations. His appointment has been criticized for his record in office,
which includes launching the invasion of Iraq along with former
President George W. Bush. As Blair toured a Hebron mosque, the protester
approached him and called him a “terrorist.”
