(Washington Times) America's European allies Friday rejected a call from Secretary of State Colin Powell to sever ties with Yasser Arafat, even as U.S. officials accused him of "undercutting" his new prime minister, Mahmoud Abbas. One official noted that Mr. Abbas' press conference with Mr. Powell in the West Bank town of Jericho earlier this month was not broadcast on Palestinian television, which is controlled by Mr. Arafat.
