Palestinian officers jailed


A Palestinian military court in Jericho has sentenced four military intelligence officers to prison terms of between three and four years for raiding an office of Yasser Arafat's Fatah movement.

The raid on the office in Ramallah last Saturday provoked a riot by Fatah supporters during which a Palestinian teenager was shot dead.
