Israel: Gov't Expands Detention Without Trial to Israeli Citizens 
------------------------------------------------------------------


 
In news from Israel, the Security Cabinet has approved a policy of
detention without trial for citizens who are suspected of attacks
against Palestinians. The move comes after Jewish settlers firebombed a
Palestinian home in the West Bank Friday, killing an 18-month-old baby.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has called the arson attack a "war
crime" and has vowed to bring it to the International Criminal Court.
