The Palestinian Authority Embassy in Yemen announced that it was closing its doors in Sana'a, in protest of the arrest of ten Palestinians in Aden, alleged attempts to "confiscate" the embassy's land, and what it called "dual Palestinian representation" in reference to the presence of a Hamas office in the Yemeni capital. Yemeni authorities arrested six members of the militant group Islamic Jihad, including the group's apparent leader, Abu al-Ghayth al-Yamani, in connection to threats to attack foreign embassies made in online statements. The previous week, Islamic Jihad had claimed responsibility for a twin car bombing of the United States' embassy that killed 19 people, although no connection to the US embassy bombing was mentioned on the state-run website announcing the arrests.

[David Kimche], the Israeli spy who played a key role in Israel's 1980s entanglements with Iran and Lebanon, died March 8 at home in Israel of brain cancer. He was 82.
As Foreign Ministry director general, he promoted peace with Egypt and other Arab countries. Kimche pressed for installing a sympathetic government in Lebanon, an outlook that helped bring about Israel's ill-fated 1982 invasion of Lebanon.
Kimche also was Israel's point man in the complex Iran-Contra scandal, when the Reagan administration authorized Israel's sale of arms to Iran in exchange for Iranian intervention on behalf of American hostages held in Lebanon.

BAGHDAD, Iraq - Some Iraqis sympathized with U.S. forces today after hearing the American death toll in the Iraq war had reached 2,000. But others noted that many more Iraqis had died in the conflict and said they hope the U.S. "occupiers" will soon go home.
A day after the somber milestone was reached, insurgent attacks continued. Four militants hiding behind a mosque shot and killed a government official as he drove to work today, and an Internet statement claimed Al-Qaida in Iraq has abducted two Moroccan embassy employees.
