MIDEAST ISRAEL PALESTINIANS

Mourners carry the bodies of four Palestinians killed in several exchanges of fire with Israeli troops Wednesday during their funeral in the West Bank town of Tulkarem Wednesday, Oct. 24 2001. Israeli troops entered two West Bank villages Wednesday, killing at least six Palestinians in the incursion, despite U.S. President Bush's request that Israel withdraw from Palestinian areas "as quickly as possible". The bodies are draped in Palestinian and Islamic flags. (AP Photo/Nasser Ishtayeh)
